Automotive oscilloscopes

A PicoScope (sometimes known as a labscope) turns your laptop or desktop PC into a powerful diagnostic tool. Think of it as the X-ray machine of diagnostics, letting you see the changing signals inside wires. You can purchase a PicoScope on its own, but most people purchase one of our award-winning Automotive Diagnostics Kits. These money-saving kits contain everything you need – just add a PC.

PicoScope Automotive oscilloscopes and kits

PicoScope 4425A for active diagnostics

Our exciting PicoBNC+® probe connectivity, unique to PicoScope 4225A and 4425A oscilloscopes, provides you with:

  • Smart probe interfacing so that all your probe configuration takes place in the software - no more incorrect probe switch positions!
  • Powered probes that are always on and ready to go - no more flat batteries, current clamp zeroing, or auto-off!
  • Channel status lights to show you which probes and channels to connect and their status when you load a data file or guided test
  • Future-proofing of your diagnostic capabilities as we develop new probe technologies.
  • Full backwards-compatibility with BNC for all your existing PicoScope or third-party probes

All our automotive PicoScopes have the features that have already helped technicians around the world with vehicle diagnostics:

  • 400 M samples/second and 20 MHz bandwidth to make sure you can test the latest vehicles such as those with high-speed FlexRay or CAN-FD networks
  • 12-bit (16-bit enhanced) resolution - your waveforms in high definition
  • 250 M sample memory for long-duration captures; ideal when you are trying to diagnose intermittent faults
  • USB 3.0 data transfer speeds and power, providing you with high performance and portability

scan tool or oscilloscope

Why do you need a PicoScope?

Could you use a scan tool instead of a labscope? No, you need both.

A scan tool only points you in the right direction, perhaps indicating a misfire on a specific cylinder, but rarely does it pinpoint a fault. For example, is the misfire caused by an ignition, injector, or a compression-related issue?

Reliance on a scan tool alone can lead you to "parts darts" where you might find yourself replacing more and more parts until the fault goes away.

Instead, a PicoScope helps you:

  • Eliminate guesswork and test individual components before replacing them.
  • Find troublesome intermittent faults.
  • Investigate vehicle problems when there are no, multiple, or misleading fault codes.
  • Diagnose charging and starting faults.
  • Trace problems with actuators that are not monitored by the ECU, such as motors and injectors.
  • Identify mechanical problems such as compression and slipped / incorrectly fitted timing belts.
  • Prove the source of an NVH problem
  • Report your objective findings back to your managers and customers

As a technician, a PicoScope brings you faster, more efficient diagnostics and a clear understanding of the vehicle’s workings.

As workshop owner, a PicoScope gives you a "fix it right" culture, with fewer parts changed on guesswork, and increased customer satisfaction, repeat business and profits.

PicoScope Automotive scopes

2, 4 or 8 channel PicoScope?

The two and four-channel PicoScope 4225A and 4425A are our recommended products for general workshop use. The floating ground design, ConnectDetect™ and 200V inputs make for a very robust and easy-to-use product.

For experienced oscilloscope users involved in training, vehicle design and complex diagnostics the eight-channel PicoScope 4823 may be a suitable choice. Rather than floating grounds, which require a ground connection per channel, the 4823 has common grounds that are protected by self-resetting fuses. This means that you do not need one ground per channel, which can be a real time-saver when connecting up lots of channels. The common ground design limits the maximum input range of the 4823 to 50 V (protected to 100 V), so attenuators will be required when measuring voltage signals from inductive components such as injectors and primary ignition.

Protecting your investment

When you purchase any diagnostic tool, you spend not only money but also time learning how best to use it. We protect that investment in three ways.

  1. Our products provide features that help you if you are just starting with oscilloscope diagnostics, yet but also have the power and tools demanded by experienced users.
  2. We do not compromise on quality or specifications - the PicoScope you buy today will remain an essential part of your diagnostic toolbox ten years from now.
  3. Our regular, free, software updates and new feature releases improve the capabilities of your PicoScope with time.

With all this, it is no surprise that more vehicle manufacturers and aftermarket customers choose PicoScope than any other oscilloscope.

PicoScope Automotive software

PicoScope Automotive software and oscilloscopes are optimized to work together to give you total trust in the waveforms you capture.

With PicoBNC+™ compatible devices, PicoScope software sets up your scope automatically. You can use channel, sampling and trigger controls to capture your waveform precisely as you want it.

PicoScope Automotive helps you determine your waveform characteristics with a vast range of easy to use and configurable analysis tools:

  • Time and voltage rulers
  • Rotation rulers
  • Measurements
  • Waveform buffers
  • Zoom
  • Views
  • Filters
  • Math channels
  • Reference waveforms
     

Masks and alarms automatically notify you if a waveform goes out of tolerance. PicoScope can fire off a software event (such as a save to file), meaning you don't have to hang around and wait for the error to show up.

All of these features are wrapped up in a modern, easy-to-use interface. We leave the space free for what matters: your waveforms, displayed in crisp, clear high resolution.

All of this, plus regular updates and new features, with no ongoing subscription.

Guided tests, Waveform Library and PicoDiagnostics

Guided tests, Waveform Library and PicoDiagnostics

As a PicoScope Automotive user, you have access to a unique set of diagnostic resources, consisting of our guided tests, Waveform Library and PicoDiagnostics.

The guided tests set up the scope for you, then tell you how to connect to the vehicle, perform the test, and evaluate your waveforms. Plus, they are full of information to help you understand how the system works and the possible failure modes and associated symptoms.

More about our guided tests >>

Sometimes you may come across an unexpected vehicle, waveform or result. Our Waveform Library provides you with over 6,000 waveforms uploaded by PicoScope users all around the world. You can download these waveforms to use as a reference against which to compare your captures or to automatically set up your scope for your specific vehicle and component.

More about the Waveform Library >>

PicoDiagnostics provides you with a set of quick non-invasive tests, simple procedures, and diagnostic conclusions you can share with your customers.

Current PicoDiagnostics test capabilities  include:

  • Relative and absolute (optional) compressions for each cylinder.
  • Cylinder balance / misfire detection for each cylinder.
  • Battery cold-cranking amps, state of charge and health, and battery voltage drop during starting.
  • Starter motor coil-resistance, and voltage-drop down cables.
  • Alternator output voltage, current and diode ripple.

8-Channel Professional Kit

The 4823 allows you to simultaneously monitor more channels for those applications with more complex signal interactions but has a common ground reference rather than floating inputs and does not feature PicoBNC+ connections. This kit adds a range of BNC accessories to the 4823 providing a level of capability similar to the Advanced kit but with additional leads, adaptors and a third current clamp so you can make full use of all 8 channels. The kit is supplied in a carry case with foam cutouts.

8-Channel Scope only

For experienced oscilloscope users, the 4823 may be a suitable choice for training, vehicle design or complex diagnostics. This oscilloscope (like our earlier generation 4423 and 3423) has a common ground reference rather than floating inputs but does have additional protection against inadvertent connection of ground to power. The input voltage range is only 50V so attenuators are required when measuring signals from inductive components such as injectors The 4823 allows you to simultaneously monitor more channels for those applications with more complex signal interactions and also includes the same low-voltage signal generator as the PicoScope 4824.
