What it does #
ConnectDetect® – available on PicoScope 4×25 and 4x25A Automotive oscilloscopes – indicates whether you have good connections between your test leads and circuits.
How it can help you #
It is not always easy to ensure a good connection between a test lead and a circuit and it is not uncommon for them to disconnect during a test. In those cases, it isn’t always obvious whether the waveform you are seeing is due to a vehicle fault or a problem with your test lead connections.
With ConnectDetect®, you can clearly see your test leads’ connection status so you no longer have to second guess your measurements.
How to use it #
With your (x1) test leads connected to your PicoScope channels and test circuits, open the More… panel and select ConnectDetect®.
With ConnectDetect® enabled, the indicators below your waveforms (and those on the PicoScope device) are green when the connections are good or red otherwise.
