PicoScope Automotive 6 is the latest release of our highly successful automotive diagnostics software. We took what we had learned from PicoScope 5, listened to what you told us, and then started again — from scratch. The result: PicoScope 6 is a brand-new diagnostic tool — not just a simple upgrade. PicoScope 6 has higher performance and more powerful features, yet is even easier-to-use than previous versions.

Higher performance

PicoScope 6 offers a new level of performance: along with faster data processing and improved support for the latest USB automotive oscilloscopes, faster capture rates make it easier for you to see fast-moving signals.

Never miss that elusive problem waveform

No more having to stop the scope as soon as you notice a fault: the new waveform buffer in PicoScope 6 can hold multiple waveforms in memory, allowing you to stop the scope and then review up to 32 previously captured waveforms.

Control capture rates

PicoScope 6 allows you to reduce the number of data frames per second that your scope captures. This can help to conserve valuable power when your laptop is running on batteries.

More professional printouts

With both colour printing and a new black and white printing mode, printed waveforms look more professional — making them easier to work with and ideal for showing to your customers.

Custom Probes

With PicoScope 6 there is no need to create a custom range every time you want to add a new probe or sensor. The new Custom Probes feature lets you quickly add a new probe or sensor using an easy-to-use wizard.

More powerful features

PicoScope 6 includes smarter and more powerful features than previous versions of PicoScope. As well as the ones described above, other features include:

  • Multiple views of the same data, with individual zoom, pan and filter settings for each view
  • Organise the data views however you want with the power of drag-and-drop
  • Zoom-in to a point of interest quickly with the intuitive point-and-click zoom controls
  • Specify a delay between the trigger and start of the capture directly in units of time
  • Achieve more than twice the screen update rate on the latest devices (where PC specification and chosen settings allow)

Improved usability and appearance

Along with the increased performance and new features, we’ve also made PicoScope 6 easier to use:

  • Draggable rulers make it easier to move traces apart.
  • Clearer graphics and text together with the ability to enlarge font sizes on measurements means that the screen is easier to read — even from a distance.
  • Tooltips appear when you hover your mouse over a control, making it easy to understand what everything does.
  • Point-and-click tools make panning and zooming quick and easy.
  • User-configurable toolbars let you position the controls where you want them.
