Hi Sarah, You are correct with your belief that you don't sell this type of lead, nor should you. Actually it would be an adapter that surrounds the coil for secondary then a pickup would be placed on it. There is actually no need for such an item that I'm aware of since primary is mirror of seconda...

Hi Nick,

I will keep the 212/3 that I have mainly for the signal generator. As Tom pointed out, this is useful for simulating PCM inputs.

Be aware of normal signal bursts that show up on your scanner. This is not a streaming input, however, it will allow you to verify circuit integrity.

Hello Guest, I feel it's only fair to give another testimonial by the owner and user of both the Vantage and the PicoScope. The Vantage has an excellent data-base, multimeter functionality, a fair waveform viewer, self contained, and rugged. The update software is not free though. It is quite expens...

Hi Alex, I wouldn't attempt to use it as a diagnostic tool for analyzing a secondary ignition electrical fault. Mechanical yes. Even knowing it can aid in these mechanical faults, you really need to be familiar with each engine design. Primary and secondary waveform analysis is your quickest way to ...

Hi Alex, The FLS is a nice tool added to my arsenal. The PicoScope compliments it quite well. What your interested in is an ultra sensitive differential pressure sensor. (piezo design) The Fluke PV 350 (if this is what your using) is designed for broad ranges. On the high end with that you can measu...

Hi Doug, The highest output ignition coil made by MSD would be the Pro Power Coil with a maximum output of 55,000 volts. They can be used on the 7, 8, and 10 systems. For most racing applications, 40,000 volts is plenty and widely used. If it's good enough for "Top Fuel", you should be ok. The prima...

Paging William Gordon, (WRAF)

Hi William, Please elaborate on what you mean by adapting the ADC 212/3 to a AFR meter. This stems from the thread drift "ARE THERE ANY HYDROCARBON SENSORS AVAILABLE"? http://www.picotech.com/support/viewtopic.php?t=318 Before I respond to the issue of WRAF, let me give you a couple of tips. 1) Post...

Stoich/Lamda/O2

Hi William,
I have adapted the Pico 212/3 to read the AFR (Lambda) on vehicles with an oxygen sensor. Interested?
Yep, show us what you have.

Regards,

Save On Trigger

Hi Mark, I like your Avitar. :) You remind me of an Autonerdz student. (bg) Welcome aboard. In reply to the post above yours; I wouldn't want my files to be overwritten in a Save on Trigger folder. If you want these files gone, go through "My Computer" and delete them. If you want to save them, eith...
