Hello. Can the TA329 ultrasonic parking sensor check all types of parking sensors?

Hello and thank you for the post

Unfortunately, the TA329 cannot be used to detect the TPMS carrier frequency of 315 or 433 MHz as the Ultrasonic Parking Sensor detector is tuned to respond to 40 kHz

In addition to the above, the automotive PicoScope has a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz and therefore cannot faithfully reproduce/display a carrier frequency above 20 MHz

With that said, there are accessories out there that will help and some have been discussed here

Given the use of both 315 and 433 MHz within our auto world and the potential we have with our BNC+ scope, it would not surprise me if such an accessory could be developed in order for our 20 MHz auto scope to display higher frequencies (Said too much already)

I hope this helps, take care......Steve
