Re: Compression testing using the WPS500 Pressure Transducer

Thanks for the feedback an sorry for the mega late reply. You are most certainly correct re the internal volume of the pressure transducer and hose, this was my mistake. The following forum post will hopefully clear this up https://www.picoauto.com/support/topic21311.html?&p=97815#p97815 The pressur...

Re: Maths is cool

Thank you for the feedback and insight too, it all helps to bring theory to life. This next post looks at cylinder pressure compensation Until the arrival of the pressure transducer, peak cylinder pressure was our primary concern when measuring engine compression. With the WPS500x on the scene we ar...

Hello and thank you for the post. The WPS was connected via the Sykes quick couple Adapter Kit B https://www.picoauto.com/products/pressure-sensors/wps500x-adaptor-kit-b that will convert your compression hose (TA212) from Foster to the Sykes style coupler. Below the Adapter Kit B connects the relev...

Re: Maths is cool

The Invert option is already a “Built-In” math channel that allows you to invert channel A or B should it be necessary for improved analysis PS7 1.png This is fine if the channel you wish to invert is Channel A or B, but what about Channel C or D? Here’s a typical example where I have the current cl...

Re: Maths is cool

There are times when I could kick myself for not obtaining the crank sensor signal during a typical engine capture! Whilst we may not be looking for a crank sensor related fault, it just helps to graph engine speed (https://www.picoauto.com/support/topic11511.html) during waveform analysis to determ...

Re: Maths is cool

Following on from the following case study that tripped me over numerous times https://www.picoauto.com/library/case-studies/subaru-with-incorrect-abs-operation I thought this would be a good place to revisit graphing road speed via the ABS speed sensor signal. Using a math channel to calculate road...

Re: Citroen C3 2007 loosing Power Steering

Hello Chris and thank you for the post, sorry for the late feedback. I am not sure how far you are along with this one and no doubt my next reply will be late too. With that said I have a few questions. Before we dig too deep, do we know if this vehicle has any relevant bulletins regarding this issu...

Re: Audio Import from Smart Phones

Hello Victor, sorry for the late reply

Forgive my confusion here, do you have the information you now require re licensing, Mic and Accelerometer specs?

Take care.....Steve
