Videos - PicoScope 7
The automotive diagnostic videos provided here show you what you can do with your Automotive Diagnostics Kit. They are an invaluable training resource and demonstrate how PicoScope and the Automotive Diagnostics Kit can be used to find a variety of vehicle faults.
PicoScope 7
PS7 start-up and tour
Steve Smith has created this very quick tour of PS7 as it stands today, including vehicle details and channel labels. As we all know, the software is evolving and improving at a tremendous rate, so keep an eye open for new updates.
Connect your PicoScope, and capture waveforms using our PicoScope Automotive software.
This video contains plenty of useful information on how to connect your PicoScope and capture waveforms using our PicoScope Automotive software.
Case Study XC90 misfire with Steve Smith Non-intrusive engine evaluation [Motor Age]
Evaluating the cause of an engine misfire prior to dismantling using minimal intrusion measurement techniques.
PicoScope 7 Automotive: Using measurement 'Limits' with 'Actions' to determine drive belt tension
In this video we utilise the measurement "Limits" feature of PicoScope 7 Automotive software and incorporate "Actions" to indicate if the captured belt tension frequency is within our chosen limits

Renault Zoe Type 2 charging error - Car or charger fault?
In this case study, Steve Smith investigates a charging error in a Renault Zoe Type 2.
Case study - CAN Network analysis and diagnosis with Steve Smith
Steve takes a Deep-Dive into a Ford Focus CAN Network fault and the symptoms that arise from what proves to be a "connection" fault.
Case Study with Ben Martins
The classic saying of nothing is easy couldn’t be more true with intermittent faults. Here we take a look at a 2006 Vauxhall Corsa which would cut out and not start and then suddenly be fine again!
Fiesta Case Study
Diagnosing mechanical faults with direct gasoline injectors.
Exhaust Gas Pulsations
Steve tells us about using the WPS500X capturing exhaust gas pulsations. An unintrusive test that can provide a wealth of information. The animation lets us see how to make the connections and how the system works and what to look for.
Crankcase Pressure
Steve tells us about capturing the crankcase pressure with the WPS500X pressure transducer. The animation shows us how to connect the pressure transducer for this capture as well as the system operation and what to look for.
In-cylinder Analysis
Steve tells us about in-cylinder analysis with the WPS500X pressure transducer. The animation shows the connections and the system operation with a fault example.
Oil pressure
Steve shows us how to measure oil pressure with the WPS500X pressure transducer, showing us how to connect to the system and how to perform the test.
Intake Manifold Pressure
Steve is here to show us how to test the intake manifold pressure during cranking with the WPS500X pressure transducer.
Turbocharger Operation
Steve is here to show us how the intake manifold pressure for turbocharged vehicles works and how we can test the turbocharger operation with the WPS500X pressure transducer.
Cam and Crank Synchronization with PicoScope
Phil is here to show us connections and software tips for cam and crank synchronization with PicoScope.
PicoScope - connecting and testing
Phil talks us through how to connect your PicoScope to a vehicle to capture a camshaft sensor signal in PicoScope 7 Automotive.
Testing diesel back-leakage with the WPS500X
Steve shows us how to connect and test the diesel back-leakage with the WPS500X. You will see an animation of the system's operation and how it affects the waveforms.
Testing negative priming with the WPS500X
Steve shows us how to check the negative diesel priming with the WPS500X. You will see an animation of the system's operation and how it affects the waveforms.
Testing DPF backpressure with the WPS500X
Steve shows us how to test DPF backpressure with the WPS500X. You will see an animation of the system's operation and how it affects the waveforms.
