Injector Waveform – High Speed with Regulation Understand high speed injector waveforms with switch-mode current regulation. We analyse waveforms captured by a PicoScope showing injector current and voltage from idling diesel engines. The vehicles’ waveforms shows cycles with two pilot pulses followed by a main pulse. Pilot pulses are used to even out diesel delivery during idle, which reduces the … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Road Speed from ABS Pulses
Garage Lube Posted on 19 February 2020 by Jeff Frandsen3 January 2022

Display Road Speed from ABS using a Maths Channel on PicoScope Use an ABS Sensor to calculate Road Speed from ABS using Maths Channel. You can create a speed waveform in km or miles per hour. Most ABS Sensors use a toothed wheel to detect wheel rotation, every time a tooth passes the sensor a pulse is generated. In this … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Parasitic Drain Current Test Results
Garage Lube Posted on 19 February 2020 by Jeff Frandsen20 February 2020

Parasitic Drain Current Testing A parasitic drain current test can take place over many hours. The battery in your current clamp might run down so using a resistor to measure current, calculated using a PicoScope maths channel is a solution. This article builds on the Pico’s Parasitic Drain Current Test. Choosing a Resistor P R Max I 5W 0.1Ω 7A … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

CAN Bus Waveforms
Garage Lube Posted on 18 February 2020 by Jeff Frandsen3 January 2022

CAN Bus Testing with PicoScope 6 The examples in the Maths Channel Basic Tutorial might look contrived but they can be very useful. Use A * B to determine the instantaneous power in a circuit if one of the channels is a current and the other a voltage: V * I = P. You can even choose Watts as a … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
