Picoscope6 automotive does not detect picoscope 2208

Post by bricoautomalaga »

Hello dear friends.
Buy my picoScope 2208 a month ago.
Pico Scope 6 if it detects the picoscope, but when I open the software picoscope 6 automotive does not detect the picoscope.
What problem can I have? could you help me please?
My pc is windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks and regards!

The 2208 is not suitable for Automotive use, and as such will not work with PicoScope 6 Automotive or PicoDiagnostics.

So there's no way to work with 2208, and automotive picoscope?
I thought all your oscilloscopes were automotive .... :shock:

The only current automotive scopes are the 4225 and 4425 as shown on our Automotive Website. The older 4223, 4423, 3223 and 3423 are also suitable but very difficult to find.

Whilst you could use a normal scope, and standard software, to test car electrics, you will not have access to the preset menus, the waveform library, or PicoDiagnostics. Diagnosing issues then becomes a whole lot more difficult, and the cost saving on the scope no longer looks that way.
