motor rpm photo tach sensor

Hello,
I have a Pico 4444.
I would like to use it for checking starter motor and alternator RPM's so I can plot current against it.
Is there any kind of probe available, like a photo-tach sensor with milli-volt output, or something?

ta43w

I hope I'm on the right forum here.
Will the TA432 resistance probe work on my Picoscope 4444?
Is there a video or instructions on its use?
Is there also a temperature probe available?

Re: screen update rate is slow

I'm sorry I didn't give you that info.
I have the timebase set to 50 milliseconds.
I wanted the scope to operate in streaming mode.

screen update rate is slow

Hello,

I am using a picoscope 3223 with a 3gHz Pentium, XP Pro.
I have the samples set at about 10k
The screen update rate is so slow, about 1/2 - 3 seconds between updates.
What can be done to fix this?

capturing and then outputting bit-serial data

I have a Bosch alternator on my test bench which uses a two pin regulator. It is controlled by a computer in the car and communicates via bit-serial data instead of the usual PWM or 'L', 'IG', etc. Is it possible to capture the information on the two connectors while the car is running, then copy th...

3223 disconnects when unattended?

After using version 6 (and liking it), I discovered that the program stops recognizing my 3223 if I leave it for a few hours. Even closing and reopening the software doesn't help. It comes up stating that there is no device connected, so I unplug the usb cord and plug it back in, and then everything...

magnify timebase without magnifying voltage

Is there a way to stretch the captured waveform without amplifying it at the same time? This was possible in V5, but I'm not sure how to do it in V6.

Also, can I superimpose a captured reference waveform on a running screen so I can compare waveforms visually?
