2 Year Warranty Our Advanced Diagnostics Kit is the ultimate in vehicle diagnostics.

Fully vehicle independent, these kits can be used to test and diagnose faults on everything from a Segway to a superliner (although most of our users are happy to stick to bikes, cars and trucks).

An Advanced Kit includes a wide variety of probes, test leads and other accessories all designed to make it quicker and easier for you to carry out your tests. When not in use, the scope and all accessories can be stored in the durable case. Perfect for mobile diagnostics.

If you want the best diagnostics kit, you want an Advanced Diagnostics Kit.

How does it compare to the competition?

Two features that help the PicoScope outperform others are (1) high performance vertical resolution and (2) memory buffers.

(1) Vertical Resolution: Unlike most digital storage oscilloscopes, which typically have 8 bit vertical resolution and poor DC accuracy, the PicoScope is accurate to 1% and has 12 bit resolution. This gives a vertical resolution of 4000 'dots' compared to the usual 100 or 200 of most other automotive scopes.

(2) Memory Buffer: PicoScopes also feature large memory buffers - making it possible for you to capture large, complex signals and then ZOOM into areas of interest to show the fine detail of the signal.

What can I test with the PicoScope?

The PicoScope offers professional-level testing and flexibility for diagnosing any modern vehicle. The package includes hardware (leads, adapters and connectors) and software that contains over 140 built–in tests, each with illustrated instructions and sample waveforms for:

Primary and secondary ignition circuits
Glow plugs and timer relays
Fuel injectors
Fuel pumps
Alternators and starters
CAN Bus
and many other sensors and actuators: ABS, crankshaft, camshaft, MAP, MAF, throttle position, knock and lambda sensors.

Each built-in test can be customized and saved. You can also create your own tests and share tests with other PicoScope users.

For expanded testing, the PicoScope is compatible with many aftermarket accessories that are sold separately, including:
Pressure transducers
Ignition Parade modules and COP probes
Software
DLC Breakout box

How do you use a PicoScope?

Use a PicoScope just like any other PC program. Select a preset from the Automotive drop-down menu and click it. The PicoScope will automatically:

1. Display a sample waveform (there are over 60 samples)

2. Adjust the lab scope settings (time, volts, trigger, sweep, etc...)

3. Display a tutorial page with information on the accessories and steps needed to perform the test.
