The PicoScope diagnostics kit has just been updated with the addition of two new kits. Pico notes that its new PicoScopes are equipped for the future, with twice the bandwidth of their predecessors and four times faster sampling. This means that they can clearly display the high-speed signals used on the latest vehicles, including the highly complex waveforms found on the new FlexRay bus. The new “always on memory”, now 64 times larger, ensures that the user can concentrate on the job, not on the scope. The new scopes also have twice the input range (now +/-100 V) so that the user can test a wider range of signals.
The patterns obtained from a PicoScope Diagnostics Kit show what is really going on inside the vehicle. Pico notes that while a scan can alert the user to the most likely cause of a problem, only a scope can prove whether a component is faulty or not and save you the cost of unnecessary replacement. The PicoScope display is highly detailed and accurate, and can be as big as the screen of your PC or laptop. The user can also zoom-in to see even more detail, save the results on disk for future analysis, or save pictures to share with colleagues.
As well, PicoScope kits can test just about any electrical component on a vehicle, including airflow, MAF and MAP sensors; lambda and knock sensors; ABS, crank and cam sensors; injectors and fuel pumps; primary and secondary ignition; CAN bus integrity; batteries, starting and charging circuits; glow plugs and timer relays; and relative compression.
