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...

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...

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...
