PicoScope Automotive: The Oscilloscope of Choice for Vehicle Diagnostics
PicoScope is a powerful automotive diagnostic tool that gives you detailed insights into your vehicle’s systems. It’s user-friendly, with advanced features like waveform comparison, easy data sharing, and non-invasive testing, ensuring you can diagnose issues accurately and efficiently. Whether you’re a seasoned technician or just starting out, PicoScope helps you get to the root of problems faster and more reliably than ever before.
Are you seeing the full picture?
PicoScope diagnostic oscilloscopes show you the real-time operation of components, taking the guesswork out of the diagnostic process. An oscilloscope and a serial diagnostic tool are best used together to provide a complete diagnostic solution.
Can you rely on your scan tool?
Has your serial diagnostic tester (scan tool) reported misleading Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) or actual values? If so, you will know how this can lead to costly diagnostic mistakes. While a scan tool reads error codes and monitors sensor data, it often misses the root cause of issues, especially intermittent faults or rapid events. An oscilloscope provides precise, real-time waveform analysis, allowing technicians to closely observe electrical signals and component behaviors. This helps diagnose complex issues like voltage drops, signal interference and faulty components. Using both tools together ensures thorough diagnostics, leading to more accurate repairs and reduced diagnostic time.
Is your multimeter missing glitches or intermittent faults?
A multimeter, while useful for basic measurements, falls short in diagnosing complex automotive issues. It can miss glitches and intermittent faults due to its inability to capture real-time changes and fast events. For detailed analysis and accurate diagnostics, an oscilloscope is essential.
An X-ray machine for vehicle diagnostics
Whether you want to check your vehicle's electrical or fuel circuits, its suspension and drivetrain, its communication systems, or its engine or motor, a PicoScope acts like an X-Ray machine allowing you to see and capture changing signals as they happen.
Is component stripping hurting your business?
Invasive testing, which involves removing, stripping down and refitting components to check for physical faults or failures, can damage systems and lead to inaccurate diagnostics, as the system cannot be tested while operational. This method also extends repair time and risks creating additional issues. In contrast, oscilloscope testing is generally non-invasive, allowing for detailed signal analysis without disrupting the system. This approach ensures accurate and safe diagnostics.
