Re: 4423 scope and a/c power to my laptop?

Hi Peter and thank you for the feedback and waveforms too. You have hit the nail on the head regarding "Noise" and just how visible some devices can be when connected to the mains. I have seen this on numerous occasions which of course is more visible when looking at low frequency, low voltage signa...

Re: WPS500X Pressure transducer back leakage tests

Hello Henk and thanks for the feedback. I agree with the "Theory" Henk as you have mentioned and of course would welcome more spill patterns using the WPS so as to build a portfolio.(Waveform Library would be ideal) It would be very interesting to see how the "theory" holds up between differing vehi...

Re: How to test Direct Injection Injector(petrol)?

Hello and many thanks for your post. I have attached a screen shot of a psdata file taken from a 2012 1.4l turbocharged VW Golf. This engine utilises the Direct gasoline injection style fuel system, and does present a waveform far removed from the conventional port injection systems. Volkswagen_Golf...

Re: Diagnostics using Pressure Transducers

Hello Marcello and thank you for your detailed post. In my opinion the pressure transducer has become as essential as a current clamp. There may be some scepticism surrounding that comment given I work for Pico, but rest assured, from the work I have carried out with the WPS500 I can safely say I wo...

Re: WPS500X Pressure transducer back leakage tests

Hello again and thank you for all the input and feedback. It would be good to see other tests posted here as we can start to pick the bones out of how different spill formations vary from vehicle to vehicle. Returning to the vehicle in my original post, we decided not only to introduce a misfire but...

Re: PicoScope Beta 6.9 Waveform Library Browser

Thank you very much guys for the valuable feedback. This would appear to be characteristic of the version of Internet Explorer utilised regardless of any other browser installed. We can reproduce the symptom (which is always helpful) and we will continue to work this concern in with other improvemen...

Re: PicoScope Beta 6.9 Waveform Library Browser

Hi Daniel and thank you for the update, lets see how things unfold with the password login/logout issue. Moving onto the screen shot you have attached, this is a very interesting phenomena and one we can take a look at here at Pico. Ideally I need some more information regarding your PC and browser ...

Re: PicoScope Beta 6.9 Waveform Library Browser

Hi Daniel and thank you for the feedback. We have been looking at the log in issue and so far we remain logged in under varying shut-down conditions. Closing the software or shutting down the PC, all appears quite stable. (Remain logged in) Can you run through a typical scenario where you find yours...
