Re: Volvo v40 alternator

Hi Lexion, There are a number of variables that will affect voltage output for a smart alternator. If we look up the data sheet from NXP which can be found on the following article - https://www.picoauto.com/library/training/lin-bus-decoder-and-lin-controlled-alternators, we have a binary figure for...

Re: TA388

Re: signals on NOx sensor

Hi carputerke, Interesting question as typically we don't see those signals as those wires are not easily accessible. Is there anything in particular you are looking or is it just out of curiosity? As Martyn has mentioned if you have any waveforms to share then please feel free to do so. Alternative...

Re: Setra 517 HD Clutch position sensor

Hi flaurits, I agree with Roman here. Given you power and ground to the sensor appear to be good apart from some slight interference, the main issue is on channel A where the signal is being really corrupted.

Re: PicoDiagnostics Software for MAC

Hi Terrymc, Thank you for your feedback. PD is still very much a windows application sadly. Appreciate that there are a growing number of MAC and Linux PicoScope users so having the full PicoScope Automotive software available is important, in particular the growing need for NVH test equipment. I've...

Re: Hitachi ZW220-7

Hi Bruno, Unfortunately, it is not possible to trigger on decoded messages. This is down to the way we currently decode which happens only once the buffer is full or if the capture is stopped. I would suggest an option would be to remove the decoder and just have channels A and B for CAN H and CAN L...
