Intro to the PicoScope (Automotive Scope)

How to set up and use the Pico Scope, including some tips for getting your settings correct for capturing different types of data. In this example I measure battery voltage and current while starting the engine.

Awesome thank you very much. I have seen other videos on Intro to scopes and still left me with questions but you explain it step by step and why to do it this way which is easy to follow and understand. I finally took my scope out of the box that I purchased and used it and it worked as you showed in the video. I will watch your other videos and look forward to any future videos. Again Thank You.

Great job on the video, I’m pretty new to the scopes so it was very helpful. Thanks for making this video! Hope you will make more like it!

Excellent tutorial. I just purchased the PICO 2004 two channel scope and this will help get me started.

Have been using various O-Scopes since back in the mid 1970's. Once you start you probably will NEVER quit. With all the avail accessories you are looking at a world of info. To me it is a toss up between vibration data vs comm data in ECM/PCM modules. Using the correct NVH velocity pickups You can monitor the bearing signatures at all four wheels. I have shown one installation just how to check injector ckts/drivers for correct operation. O-Scopes save lots of time with potential of mega bits of info using very few tools.

Justin...old buddy old pal. We don't really know each other however, I just wanted you to know that not everyone can teach. there are people who know how to do stuff, but they don't know how to effectively impart their knowledge to others. You're *NOT* one of those people - had you for a moment there didn't I.

I have viewed quite a lot of videos on Pico scopes and got my first one yesterday - 01?20?22. You're a natural instructor. It's really easy to follow what you project to the listener / student. a lo9t of people come up here and ramble and fumble, saying stuff that's not true - like the flow of voltage....

Anyway, do you have a video for the latest Pico software and how to use it> If not, I think you should do one coz pico 6 is not ancient. Pico 7 is the new kid in town and it's a lot less confusing for the newbie. So give it a shot old buddy old pal - even though we don't know each other.

P.S. I think you should develop your own training course because I've seen training courses by a couple others and they simply are not in your league...in so far as being an effective instructor is concerned. So Why not? Well that's uP 2U

Just got a pico 4425 do i just choose stable or beta

[jackjohnson]

This is an excellent presentation, especially for us beginners.
Novice questions: is the Pico Scope then, superior to the Fluke handheld scopemeters that are designed for automotive work?
I'm assuming that one advantage would be the larger screen of the laptop but would the Fluke be easier to read in broad daylight? Also, is the Pico automotive specific software the real deciding factor here in terms of which to choose ?
One has to rely on the opinions of those with hands-on or real world experience of both styles.
These are luxury items in my spot on the earth and I've never seen either except via this medium.

Hi, where can i turn the knot on channel A for voltage measurement to be on scale zero?
? Thankyou

[brentchristie]

Hi Justin
just wanted to say thank for your Pico scope video's
i will be getting one next week but try to make sure i get the wright cables can you help me with this sorry I'm new at this thanks Brent

Same thing as doing an relative compression test ....

[jawojnicki]

Is Pico scope just a brand name of a lab/oscillo scope or is there something fundamentally different about it?

[arthurfricchione]

Justin what model number PICO scope are you demoing? I'm interested in a 2 ch scope and like the one you are using to get started. Can you help me. Thanks much appreciated Artie
