This is where we collect some of the best material we have for new users to reference and learn how to use their Automotive PicoScope.
Starting from Step 1, we've created a 5 step training programme to guide those new to PicoScope along their journey of scope diagnostics from the very beginning.
As you progress through the training programme, you will learn PicoScope from our basic tests through to our more advanced tests and accessories. The Steps are designed to progress your learning at a steady rate, teaching PicoScope from the ground up.
Pico automotive diagnostic training courses are held at various locations in the USA and Europe.
