Re: Waveform Library Reform

Hi Mark, Thanks for the suggestions. There are certainly a lot of waveforms in the database but the different search options should make it easy to get to the relevant one(s). What waveform were you looking for and what ones got in the way. We do enforce that a number of fields are filled in for a w...

Hi - The buffer memory is 250 million samples divided by the number of channels in use.

Re: New to the technology

Good luck with your PicoScope journey. For many people getting to know how to use a scope totally changes how they approach diagnostics (for the better). To get started I suggest you read scope school and watch PicoScope basics both of which can be found here https://www.picoauto.com/library/training

Re: Hello from St. Louis, MO, USA

Welcome to the forum. For finding known good waveforms the first place to look is the waveform library https://www.picoauto.com/library/waveform-library

If you can not find what you need there then ask here as other users can often help.

Re: Noise Levels between Scope Models 3243 vs 4425

Hi Richard, You ask for suggestions, a bit of a long shot but if the noise is still there when the vehicle goes to sleep then we are already in the twilight zone of diagnostics. How about making sure the noise is still there on the scope screen then disconnecting the main battery. If it goes away th...

Re: Buffer Count stops at 331 ...

Hi Richard,

Please can you load your (180M) file into PicoScope then use file / save as to save a settings file (.pssettings) which will have the settings you used but not the data so should be very small to upload.

We can then have a look at what is happening.

Regards
Alan

Re: Buffer Count stops at 331 ...

Its all related to the memory settings. Your PicoScope 4425 has a 250 million sample memory as such you could capture 250 buffers each of 1 million samples or 125 each of 2 million etc. Lets for this example use the max memory set to 2.5 million samples to give a maximum of 100 buffers. Where things...

Re: Noise Levels between Scope Models 3243 vs 4425

Hi, We do have issues at time when faster hardware reveals things that were already there (ie revealing previously hidden problems) but not visible before but having said that the noise levels look rather high with the 4425. If you are still connected can you only collect one channel on your 3423 - ...

Re: WiFi ELM327 Connection

Hi Mark, One of the issues with the ELM scan tools is that there are few (if any) that are genuine. Nearly all are slightly different clones. Start by seeing if you can get it to work with the scan tool software supplied with the device (which may install drivers etc as part of the process) - if it ...
