  1. What is a scope? • Essential tool for automotive diagnostic and fault finding. • Ideal for viewing and testing most automotive sensors and circuits. • Captures and stores signals from sensors, components and actuators. • Displays and expands spikes and complex signals.

  2. Ignition (Primary & Secondary) Injectors & fuel pumps Starter & charging currents ABS sensors. Crank & cam sensors Relative compression tests Glow plugs/timer relays Lambda, airflow, knock & MAP sensors What can it do? The kit can be used to measure and test virtually all electrical and electronic components:

  3. Why use a scope? • 2 main diagnostic techniques - ECU Fault codes and scopes. Both have advantages, but used together are very powerful. Scopes enable the actual signals to be viewed • Scopes speed up diagnostics, especially where there’s no fault code, or it is wrong or misleading. A real Time-Saver ! • A scope can confirm fault code diagnosis, before expensive parts are swapped out. They may just need cleaning! • Reduced Manufacturer Warranty Costs - due to elimination of unnecessary replacement of non-faulty parts. Connections and wiring faults can easily be pin pointed • Easy saving of data for analysis, and comparison with stored benchmark traces. Waveforms can be transmitted easily by email, for remote diagnosis.

  4. ADC-212/3 • Dual channel + trigger • Vertical resolution of 4000 ‘dots’ • 12 bit resolution • 32k sample memory • 3MS/s sampling rate • +/-1% accuracy • +/-10mV to +/-20V inputs in 11 ranges • 1.5MHz analogue bandwidth The Pico ADC-212/3 PC oscilloscope/meter is our recommended product for automotive diagnostic and fault finding.

  5. How do I use it? In the PicoScope software, the Automotive menu contains a list of the different sensors and circuits that can be tested with the Diagnostic kit. When the subject of interest has been selected, the software will automatically do a number of things: • Load a reference waveform into PicoScope • Load a web page. This shows how to connect the scope, gives advice on what the waveform should look like and gives general technical information • Load the required settings, removing the need to spend time on setting up the PicoScope

  6. ADC-212/3 600A AC/DC current clamp 60A DC current clamp 20:1 attenuator 2x multimeter probes 2x small croc clips 2x dolphin clips Insulation piercing probes 2x TA000 test leads 2x Secondary Ignition Pickup 2-pin break out lead Cigar Lighter power lead Acupuncture probe set Automotive Software CD Quick start guide Durable carry case What do I get? The Diagnostic Kit is based around the successful ADC212/3 oscilloscope and includes a powerful software and information package. The kit turns your laptop or desktop PC into a powerful automotive diagnostic tool for fault finding. The advanced kit includes:
