OK, so job done... (Well as far as current measurement goes) I have researched for more time than is healthy and I have purchased an OEM "battery management" current sensor to act as my additional current sensor as I couldn't justify adding another conventional current clamp meter to my Pico TA 167 ...

Hello Steve, Thanks again for taking the time to respond and for your time in actually capturing test data to quantify the file size Based on your feedback there is no question that (finances aside) a 4 channel automotive scope would be an invaluable asset, even as a 'hobbyist' and to be fair I don'...

Hi Steve, Following on from a post on the test and measurement forum which discusses which of the Pico Data loggers may be suitable for this kind of data capture... As far as the 4 channel Automotive scopes go, I assume I could measure / capture the channels you suggested plus a couple more? Engine ...

Thanks again for the feedback... At the moment I am limited to a single channel and the 3 - 4 Hz logging rate (3 to 4 S/s capture rate) for the data I am collecting, which is purely to try and establish that what I am doing is vaguely correct and the results look sensible before I consider what and ...

Thanks for the feedback Yeah, I thing the first thing is that the current probe will have to be in a couple of positions in order to capture everything I want. (Which is now obvious to me with hindsight) Regarding the alternator charging behaviour with varying load, yes... now you state putting it d...

Hi there, My first post in the Automotive section, I have also posted in the Pico technology section regarding a suitable scope / data logger for starting current and charging current data logging (amongst other channels / temp / voltages). My question here is regarding the TA 167 Current clamp whic...
