Pico Technology works with a variety of different vehicles in various markets.

Its connection with OEMs, and the testing of new systems for software builds, gives Pico access to new vehicles.

On breakout leads, Pico’s Phil Rutt explained: “Most manufacturers use large breakout boxes, which can be very expensive and time-consuming to connect on the vehicles.

PT“Due to warranty issues on wiring looms, many manufacturers are uncomfortable with back-pinning and may select to use Pico’s specialist breakout leads instead.

“These breakout leads have become very popular and are proven to help save you time in waveform capturing.

“This became extra clear to us recently, when we dramatically reduced our time spent on testing many engine management systems like injectors, camshaft and crankshaft sensors.

“You can connect via the four millimetre connector for voltage reading or put a current clamp around one of the colour leads.

“Each lead is numbered for reference so it is easy to list the connection for the sensor.

“This can be added in the waveform notes for feature reference.”
