PicoBNC+® NVH Diagnostics Kit

J2534 lead: Mongoose-Plus ISO/CAN 3

The Mongoose-Plus J2534 interface is a compact vehicle speed signal adapter designed for automotive technicians performing NVH diagnostics with PicoScope. Featuring industry-leading J2534 pass-thru technology, this Pico Technology accessory reliably acquires OBD speed signals to identify speed-related noise and vibrations in workshop testing. As our NVH software can use these signals to identify and display speed related noise and vibrations, the Mongoose-Plus interface makes a perfect complement to our NVH kit.In addition, the Mongoose-Plus interface is equipped with:J2534 pass-thru technology to enable OBD and, in some cases, vehicle manufacturer diagnostics (with appropriate 3rd party OE applications, which are available and supported elsewhere).Rugged & ergonomic enclosure for use in the workshop environment.Detachable USB cable allowing for easy field replacement.Click here to find and download supporting software for the Mongoose-Plus ISO/CAN3 interface.

PicoBNC+ Optical Sensor Kit

The PQ316 kit includes the high-quality TA497 PicoBNC+ optical sensor that connects directly to your PicoScope, and a robust magnetic mount to ensure it is held in the correct position. When compared to its BNC equipped counterpart (using the TA186 optical sensor), the TA497 optical sensor has several ease-of-use benefits: It does not need to be set up in the software, as it is automatically configured. It does not have any batteries that need changing, as it is powered by the scope. Furthermore, an interface box is not required as the sensor connects directly to the oscilloscope so it is, therefore, always ready for use.Together with an NVH kit, this system brings the technician a level of capability previously only available in the vehicle manufacturer's factory or via expensive and dedicated repair facilities. All of this is supported by our ongoing software updates, which will continue to improve the system long after an initial purchase.Kit contents:TA497 PicoBNC+ optical sensorTA187 Magnetic base for the optical sensorTA188 Directional tape measure for propshaft balancingTA240 Reflective tapePA100 Carry case for optical sensor kit

PicoBNC+® NVH Microphone

The PicoBNC+ NVH Microphone is a compact tool specifically engineered for accurate noise, vibration, and harshness diagnostics. Covering a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz audible range, it offers a lower noise floor and improved measurement repeatability for accurate fault finding during NVH testing, including automotive, marine, commercial, agriculture, construction and industrial diagnostics.Its omnidirectional sensitivity ensures comprehensive acoustic capture, while its lower operational noise allows subtle faults—from low-frequency booms to high-pitched squeaks—to remain clear. Designed to fit industry-standard microphone mount clips, it integrates seamlessly into existing NVH testing rigs, like the PicoBNC+ NVH Diagnostics Kit, and fixtures with no adapters required.Powered by PicoBNC+The PicoBNC+ NVH Microphone takes full advantage of the intelligent PicoBNC+ interface. Plug-and-play recognition means PicoDiagnostics Software automatically identifies the microphone and configures the channel, so there is no manual setup required.The PicoBNC+ connection means the PicoDiagnostics Software licensing is not required for these probes - they just plug and play. For technicians with BNC NVH diagnostics kits, you will need an NVH licensed Automotive PicoScope.

PicoBNC+® NVH Accelerometer

The PicoBNC+ NVH Accelerometer significantly enhances NVH testing by capturing triaxial data—fore-aft, lateral, and vertical—through a single PicoScope channel. Capable of measuring up to ± 5 g with a frequency response of 0.35 to 500 Hz (Z-axis) and 0.35 to 1500 Hz (X and Y axes). The triaxial design of the accelerometer eliminates the need for manual connection and configuration changes, allowing technicians to switch between axis modes directly within the PicoDiagnostics Software.By consolidating three outputs into one connection, the PicoBNC+ NVH Accelerometer conserves valuable scope channels for other vital signals, like ignition or cam sensors. It also reduces setup errors, accelerating the "time-to-test” for a faster and more reliable diagnostic workflow, especially when paired with the PicoBNC+ NVH Diagnostic Kit.Powered by PicoBNC+The PicoBNC+ NVH Accelerometer uses the PicoBNC+ interface, which offers plug-and-play recognition within the PicoDiagnostics Software. This means the software automatically identifies the accelerometer and configures the channel, eliminating manual setup. The PicoBNC+ connection means PicoDiagnostics Software licensing is not required for these probes - they just plug and play. For technicians with BNC NVH Diagnostics Kits, you will need an NVH licensed Automotive PicoScope.

PicoBNC+® Extension Cable

The PicoBNC+ Extension Cable provides the extra reach required for large-scale diagnostic scenarios. Measuring 3 meters in length, this robust cable gives technicians additional flexibility while performing tests at the rear of the vehicle, under the chassis, or deep within the engine bay. Designed specifically for the next generation of PicoBNC+ tools, this lead maintains full digital communication between the probe and the scope, whether you are using PicoBNC+ NVH probes or PicoBNC+ current clamps. Despite the added length, the PicoBNC+ Extension Cable works with x1 test leads at voltages up to 200 V (DC + AC peak), depending on signal bandwidth. Its durable construction is designed for the workshop floor, with an operating temperature range of 0 to 70 °C and full compliance with EN61010-1 safety standards. Compatibility note: The PicoBNC+ Extension Cable is compatible with most PicoBNC+ probes. However, due to additional capacitive loading, it is not suitable for use with our 5-meter test leads (TA475, TA476, TA477, TA478) or passive attenuating test leads, such as the TA400, TA499 and TA506 PicoBNC+ probes.For further information, see PicoBNC+ Extension Cable Compatibility.

Magnetic Accelerometer Mount

Precision NVH diagnostics begin with a secure connection. The TA096 Mounting Magnet is engineered to provide a high-strength, stable interface between your accelerometer and the vehicle under test. By ensuring a rigid bond to any ferrous surface, the TA096 eliminates "sensor bounce" and ensures that the data on your screen accurately reflects the vibrations of the component, not the movement of the probe.In the fast-paced environment of a diagnostic workshop, efficiency is key. The TA096 Mounting Magnet allows for instantaneous attachment and repositioning, enabling technicians to move between test points—such as engine mounts, transmission housings, or suspension components—in seconds.Key FeaturesHigh-Force Grip: Designed to stay firmly in place even under heavy vibration or vertical mounting scenarios.Universal Compatibility: Optimised for seamless use with both the TA143 MEMS Accelerometer and the TA573 PicoBNC+ NVH Accelerometer.Low-Profile Design: Its compact footprint allows for sensor placement in tight areas where traditional clamps or adhesive mounts may not fit.
