PicoScope Diagnostics
Supplied with all Pico Technology Diagnostics Kits, the PicoScope Automotive software is a powerful tool for capturing and viewing waveforms from almost any electrical or electronic system in today’s motor vehicles. The software contains over 80 pre-loaded testsand reference waveforms under a simple “Automotive” menu. Each one launches a detailed help topic, and automatically sets up the oscilloscope and the software ready to acquire the waveform. You can easily save new waveforms to create your own reference library.

Example Waveforms and Tests
Injector Voltage and Current The trace shows injector voltage (blue) and current (red). The dip in thecurrent waveform occurs when the solenoid (pintle) opens and the fuel begins to flow. This test is ideal for identifying slow or sticking injectors without having to remove them from the engine. Air Flow Meter (air vane type) This is a mechanical air flow meter in which a wiper moves across a carbon track. In this case the track has been worn away, leading to sudden drops in the waveform to...
