Re: Weird fuel injector wave form

Hello Shameel and thank you for your enquiry. Sorry for my late reply as I have been away on holiday and today is a catch up day. I am not sure whether we have an issue with your injector signal or not, given the input and induced voltages remain as expected along with good injector duration with no...

Re: PicoScope Automotive Top Tips

The signal and time rulers are a feature you cannot do without when analysing and measuring waveforms. Precise positioning of the rulers can be tricky when using the mouse in a workshop environment, often with one hand at full stretch covered in you know what. Drag the signal and time rulers on the ...

Re: Diagnostics using Pressure Transducers

Thank you for the feedback Dario. I have seen various "home made" pressure sensors, some of which were fine with good response and others that were quite scary! The accuracy is all important when looking at pressure values, but for transitions in pressure, response time is critical. Those I have see...

Waveform channel swapping

Many thanks to all the Pico users who have reported a sporadic and very odd glitch within the PicoScope 6 Automotive software prior to version 6.9.14 (Current stable version) When downloading new software from the Pico Website you will often find the "release notes" or a brief overview of the update...

Re: Diagnostics using Pressure Transducers

Thank you for the feedback Dario. You have hit on an interesting point here regarding the revelations made when using the WPS pressure transducer. Whilst you are right that for years we have used gauges for Compression, AC, Vacuum, Pressure, etc. etc. we have never had the intricate detail revealed ...

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...
