Re: Turn the key, engine cranking but doesnt start, sec time it does

Ignition and injector signals are triggered in wrong crank revolution. 360 degrees off from correct position. Any history of the car? Transmission removed or belt changed? Do you still have that car? Can you make a new capture (cam, crank, cop, injector) with high sample rate and 500 ms/div timebase...

Re: NVH for Belt tension measurement

Thank you

Finally got to test it and it's definitely possible with Picoscope but Guitar tuner in smartphone was much faster and easier option. Both gave almost same result but will use smartphone in the future.

NVH for Belt tension measurement

Hi Has anyone used a Pico NVH kit to measure belt tension? Don't want to but 1000 EUR tool and use it once a year if I can do it with my NVH kit. I need it for auxiliary drive belt tension measurement on PHEV application. Target frequency is 170-180 Hz. Seen videos where frequency is measured with s...

Re: Key fob testing

You have to consider the fact that remote is operational but data that is being sent out is incorrect to unlock/lock car. So even if you can measure signal with Pico you cannot verify it's correct.

Pico and keyfob tester would probably give you same results. False positive possibly.

Re: Inverted waveforms with TA204 handheld COP probe?

Change the linear equation under scaling method to use minus in formula. y=-10000 not y=10000 This way you can get inverted waveform. Not sure about this invert function under manual ranges. It doesn't work for me either but to be onest I have never tried that before. Always used minus in formula an...

Re: Inverted waveforms with TA204 handheld COP probe?

Use custom probe instead. Use built in probe, make a copy of that and edit to your ranges and invert if needed.

This way you can use it live. You have to install older Pico version though because latest is faulty and crashes on probe editing.

Re: problems with picoscope 6.13.6 on windows 10

Because they use phased roll-out. Update via Picoscope will be activated little bit later.

Don't use auto-update. Download new installer from website.
