Scope battery voltage different from multimeter

Post by Mac »

Using Pico 6 automotive 14.20 with a 3423 scope voltage reading is about 5 volt less than the reading with a multimeter, but the readings are very similar if I use the Pico diagnostics battery test software

Hello and thank you for the post

Could you confirm the software you are using is the latest automotive version here https://www.picoauto.com/downloads. (Version 6.14.25)?

Given Pico Diagnostics appears to be reading the correct value, our hardware is functioning correctly

In addition, could you check the voltage values using channels B, C, & D with the appropriate test leads?

I want to be sure this is not applicable to a single channel only

Take care......Steve
