Re: Pico scope not reading!
The space bar start / stop function is reliable. The thing you need to remember is that the capture window needs to be the active window in focus.

Re: Pico Automotive Feature Requests
I noticed the other day that the duty cycle measurement "low" has not been addressed.

Re: Ford Fiesta ABS Testing
Add an Amp Clamp to channel B and it really does paint a pretty picture of that sensor output. That would have to be a very expensive micro amps clamp wouldn't it STC? These magnretoresitive sensors produce a very subtle & rather messy / noisy signal in my experience (on these Fords in any case).

Re: Volvo V50 2.0D oscillating rpm when driving
Have you got any specific vehicle information, so that we can determine the configuration?

True, but things are only "known good" until they fail, which everything ultimately does. .STC wrote:Going equipped with Known Good HT Lead(s) would minimise the risk perhaps ?you need to make sure that your setup has some allowance for those stray 30,000 volts that often make a break for freedom.

Re: Inductive pickup from an old timing light safe for 4225?
These inductive pickup things, clamp around the high tension lead (spark plug wire in American speak) & harvest a signal from the electromagnetic interference, or Radio frequency interference (RFI) that is generated during the creation of the ignition event. In reality your inductive pick up is not ...

That is an E46 secondary air injection pump, delivering the flow and pressure required for effective leak detection.STC wrote:Dave
