PicoScope 7 Automotive
Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the next evolution of our diagnostic scope software is now available.
The automotive diagnostic videos provided here show you what you can do with your Automotive Diagnostics Kit. They are an invaluable training resource and demonstrate how PicoScope and the Automotive Diagnostics Kit can be used to find a variety of vehicle faults.
Steve goes through the propshaft balancing feature in PicoDiagnostic, showing you how the software guides you through the process and helps you balance the propshaft correctly.
In this video Eric O. shows how to use the PicoScope to perform a battery test to determine the quality of an automotive battery before replacing it.
PicoDiagnostics removes the need for current clamps to be used to view relative compression during engine cranking, and displays the results in an easy to understand bar graph.
PicoDiagnostics software can be used to quickly test the relative power output (power balance) and count the number of misfires from each cylinder. This can rapidly show problems such as power loss due to ignition issues, blocked injectors or poor compression.
PicoDiagnostics software can be used to test the battery (12 V or 24 V), alternator (for charging and diode ripple), starter motor and associated wiring. You can then print an easy to the understand report for your customer. The test is so quick to do that it's worthwhile doing on every vehicle that comes into your shop.
