how do you connect Pico to DLC breakout box?

Post by Gazen »

I bought 2205A picoscope and I am able to get signal from signal generator by connecting BNC cable to it. I need to get CAN signal from DLC breakout box. Breakout box doesn't take BNC cable. What kind of an adapter do I need?

You solder it together.
2 BNC cables with 1 end open.
1 cable the inner core to a 4mm banana to the CAN+ pin
and the outer shielding to the signal ground pin
2nd cable inner core to a 4mm banana to the CAN- pin
and the outer shielding to the signal ground pin (same as the 1st cable)

Or look at the BNC (not BNC+) leads here https://www.picoauto.com/products/acces ... test-leads

thanks. I contacted support and they said this model isn't a good fit for automotive use. I am thinking about returning it
