Oscilloscope Diagnostics, A PicoScope Guide

Foreword By Alan Tong, Founder and Managing Director, Pico Technology.

When I started designing and building Pico oscilloscopes over 25 years ago, I could not have imagined how technology within the automotive industry would develop. Today I am proud that Pico is at the forefront of diagnostics in this
industry.

We work closely with our ever-growing customer base of vehicle manufacturers and are committed to meeting their needs through advances in technology. We do this with continuous product development at our headquarters near Cambridge, UK, and in our offices in Texas, USA, and near Hannover, Germany. As such, PicoScope is no longer limited to just electrical systems, but can also test and diagnose pressure, noise, vibration and harshness issues like never before.

It is this heritage that allows us to create products for the aftermarket that continually grow in capability and have become the benchmark for scope-based diagnostics. We hope that this guide will show how the power of PicoScope can help benefit businesses, as we demonstrate the ease and simplicity of our PicoScope 7 Automotive software.


This document (Oscilloscope Diagnostics, A PicoScope Guide) has been developed to guide those new to PicoScope along their journey of scope diagnostics, from the very beginning.

You will learn PicoScope from our Guided Tests through to our more advanced features and accessories.

To understand how you ultimately get the very best out of oscilloscope diagnostics with your PicoScope, it is helpful to understand where PicoScope fits into the diagnostic process. Our aim is for PicoScope to help your workshop give your customers the very best diagnostic service.
