Re: 1973 Caddy eldorado ignition sores

Hello again and first of all an apology to all. The last line in my post reads “I have downloaded your waveform and will take a look over the next few days” which was 2 weeks ago! No excuses but I have been away training with our new NVH kit which I have to say has been a real revelation. The burnin...

Re: 1973 Caddy eldorado ignition sores

Re: Pico Diagnostics Default Settings

Hello Ed, sorry for the late reply. I have just checked the latest version and you are right as it does not retain the pressure value or the measurement system. I will file a report and send this into the software team. This should therefore be resolved on the next build. Once again, thank you for p...

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

Hi and thanks for the posts on this subject. I can see you resolved the issue using an alternative power supply but could you post an example of the noise/strange reading you experienced when measuring with your lap top connected to the mains?

Re: WPS Triton hose thread size?

Hello Liteace and once again thanks for the feedback and the constructive criticism which is justified in this case. From a technical support view can I ask if all is OK with the new M12 hose regarding fitments and the application in which you are testing/measuring? Any feedback is welcome and rest ...

Re: buying a 2204a

Hello Neil and thanks for the enquiry. Yes the scope will work on a motor vehicle or any electrical circuit within the safe working limits of the scope.

Re: Battery Test Printing

Cheers ED, has it cured the issue as any fixes/updates to PD are also included in PS software?
Could you let me know all is OK so I can feedback?
Take care.....Steve
