Re: 8-Channel Oscilloscope for Automotive?

Thank You Ben I do have the latest software but could not get the Demo to run 8 Channels - You clarified that. Good to know there are 8 channel waveforms in the Library. Am I right in thinking that I could download one and display it on latest release I have on my PC ? Just for tinkering / education...

Re: 8-Channel Oscilloscope for Automotive?

I am pretty keen to have this. Possibly sell my 3000 (which is only 50v inputs and no floating Earths) and put the money towards this. I believe I have the latest software. I wanted to play with it (all 8 channels & waveform generator) in Demo mode. Is that possible I think the Waveform Generator wi...

Re: 8-Channel Oscilloscope for Automotive?

You guys are being hard on the Pico Guys. Not Nice. I still run a 3000 series and have for 15 years. Floating Grounds - Blaa Blaaa - All White Noise to me. Don't need them. Get along just fine. A technician that struggles to "Work Around" may be many things, but he is NO TECHNICIAN in my Humble Opin...

Re: 8-Channel Oscilloscope for Automotive?

All the Negativity ! Is it really necessary. If you are hell bent on the additional 2 bits then dont buy it. Not a difficult decision to make ? I think it is great / superb / ecstatic ... that we asked and pico delivered the 8 Channel Automotive. Reasonably Priced too. What is not to like about that...

Why ?

Re: What could be wrong?

I can't use one of them because I built my set up as a mobile station around the workshop, Why would that be. Its a portable Laptop It's just a pretty damn shame that Pico don't manufacturer a computer system to go with their scopes so these problems would not occur. I don't think there is one piec...

Re: Greetings from Spain

Freelander Now what i would like to learn would be to be able to test if an engine ECU is actually sending injection signal to all its injectors, on the bench without the car, with 4 spare injectors and by simulating the crankshaft signal with picoscope (either Inductive or Hall efect). If i could l...

Re: Ford ignition primary waveform

I did a power balance test using my scan tool and I'm attaching the results. We can see that Cylinder #1 has no misfires & #3 has the most at 176. So rough running is proved. Does it get better if you increase RPM ? I also checked the crank sensor waveform and it looks very similar to what a good w...
