How to use this site:
Welcome to the PicoScope online waveform knowledgebase project. Here you will be able to upload waveforms and vehicle information on to the internet, saving your information for future use and viewing, allowing other users to view you waveforms and provide you with assistance to help each other diagnose troublesome vehicles.
Step 1 - Register:
The first step in utilizing the power of this website is to create a account if you have yet to do so. To use this website is completely free; you will never have to pay any yearly dues to enjoy this site. To create a new account you need to register here.
Step 2 - Search:
Before posting a help topic it is recommended to use the search function available on the site. As this site will grow more and more waveforms will be loaded. If you use the search function you will most likely be able to find the reference waveform that you are looking for at the time. This won't always be the case granted, but if it is loaded already the time saving method would be to quickly search for the desired waveform, compare it to the vehicle you are currently testing and you will be able to quickly diagnose the fault of the problem you are dealing with.
Step 3 - New Topic:
To say that we will have every waveform for every sensor (good and bad) on every car would be dim of us. New technology is constantly be applied to the vehicles that we drive every day. New problems and symptoms are effecting that new technology in a different way every day too. To ensure the best experience from this website and to help out other technicians it is recommended that when you come across a new waveform that has yet to be added to our database we hope that you will take the time to upload the images. Just think, if you come across a similar problem down the road in a few months you will be wishing that you had uploaded it so you can have something to compare it to...
Step 4 - Requests:
Not one technician can immediately diagnose every problem on every vehicle. There are technicians available that are very proficient with there work that can track down those elusive faults, but even they have their off days. With requests we allow all the technicians on this website to converge on a problem and think about how to fix a car. Whether it be a fault that no one has came across to simply having a bad day and need a little help on the most simplest of problems request allow you to get the information that you need right away. Remember though, this is a true community based project, if you don't help others what reason do they have to help you when you need it? We all need some help from day to day, and with requests it allows you to get it.
