Quick Start Guide

Pico Technology Oscilloscope Diagnostics Kit Quick Start Guide
DO110-4 1
1 Introduction
The Pico Technology Oscilloscope Diagnostics Kits are based on our PicoScope 3000
Series Automotive PC Oscilloscopes and include our own automotive-specific software.
The PC Oscilloscope turns a laptop or desktop PC into a powerful automotive diagnostic
tool for fault-finding the increasing number of sensors,
actuators and electronic circuits found on today’s vehicles.
This manual is a quick start guide which lists the products in
the kit and shows you how to make your first measurements
using the Pico Oscilloscope Diagnostics Kit.
For further information, you can consult the PicoScope
3000 Series Automotive user guide which contains
detailed information about using the product and
its software. It includes all the information
you will need to connect and set up your
product. The user guide is installed in
electronic Windows Help format, but if you
would prefer a paper copy, you can print the PDF file
listed under ‘User Manuals’ on the CD-ROM.
