When you buy a PicoScope Automotive Oscilloscope
Kit, you not only get a high-performance PC Oscilloscope, but also a
lifetime of technical support and free access to Pico's growing
library of waveforms and technical articles. This months new
waveform was were captured using the FirstLook Engine Diagnostic
Sensor on a Nissan Micra, and from the inlet manifold of a Ford RS
Turbo. The Firstlook Sensor offers a fast and accurate method to
diagnose automotive engine problems such as burnt valves, bad
injectors and other performance problems without major disassembly
of the engine.

The Fluke 87v and 88v are both CAT
III approved multimeters. The Fluke 1587 is also a CAT III
approved full-featured, true RMS digital multimeter. But it
offers another feature that is useful to have when working with
hybrids. It is also a digital insulation tester.
Why is insulation testing important?
As Fluke states, "In an electrical circuit, current is
delivered by a conductor, does it's work and returns to the source
on another conductor within the system. When we test a
system's insulation, we look for leaks that would allow current to
sneak back to the source." If the current 'sneaks' out it
could kill the tester, damage test instrument and/or the vehicle.
Insulation testing is useful not just
to ensure your safety before testing begins but also as a
preventative maintenance service to provide to your customer.
