• ConnectDetect® for confirmation of good contact
• USB2 or USB3 connectivity to PC
• Hardware frequency coupling
• Hardware & software filters
• Hardware & software triggers
• Vehicle health check to build business with PicoDiagnostics
• NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) diagnostics
• Maths channels, Masks/Alarms, Serial Decoding, Rotation/Phase markers
• Reference waveforms, Waveform Library, Guided Tests, Forum, Training

Why buy a PicoScope 4225A?

PicoScope is used and trusted by more authorised and independent repairers than any other measurement system because it gives the user the capability, confidence and support to quickly find and prove the fix for most vehicle faults. When you buy a PicoScope, you benefit from more than 25 years investment in the world’s best diagnostic oscilloscopes.

The PicoScope 4225A is simply the best diagnostic oscilloscope for vehicle and equipment technicians, offering unrivalled performance for the same amount as equipment that leaves you stuck or frustrated by their limitations. The Pico community and resources are there for you every step of the way with a PicoScope diagnostic oscilloscope.

Some of the unique features we have on the 4425A/4225A are real advantages compared to other scopes and deliver real benefits to technicians:

• PicoBNC+ probe recognition improves Scope setup which saves time, reduces errors, and allows new users to become confident and comfortable faster than with other scopes.
• PicoBNC+ powered probes improve Equipment maintenance which means that probes are always ready for action (no more flat batteries!), with no battery power limit on the use of current clamps for long-term measurements.
• PicoBNC+ software control improves Probe setup which provides Auto-zero on Current Clamps and other probes, avoids incorrect probe switch settings, and simplifies probe set-up for users.
• Channel status LEDs improve Technician help which provides a clear indication of which probes to connect to which channel, and of active channels.
• Probe mismatch [in PS7 only] improves Connection accuracy which eliminates the chance of accidental incorrect setup or measurements.
• PicoBNC+ Resistance lead improves Measurement options providing reliable dynamic testing when only resistance specifications are available, and monitoring changes of resistance in real-time (wiggle test).
• Pico BNC+ Temperature lead improves Measurement options providing correlation of faults with temperature, and testing of HVAC system performance with time.

In addition to the new features, the 4225A still offers the benefits seen in the 4225 PicoScope:

• ConnectDetect™ improves Component connection which gives you confidence that you have made a good probing connection.
• Higher voltage input range (+/- 200 V) improves Scope flexibility which saves time as attenuators are less likely to be required (e.g. for injector voltages), and protects the equipment against inadvertent connection to higher voltages
• Floating input system improves Measurement options offering safe low-noise measurements where none of the inputs are grounded and allowing voltage drop measurements using a single channel
• High sample rate (up to 400 MS/s) improves Diagnostic capability allowing you to test the latest technologies, see waveforms in high detail, and pick out all important signal anomalies.
• High vertical resolution (12-bit) improves Measurement evaluation delivering waveforms in high definition and without the distortion due to low resolutions
• USB connectivity improves System configuration delivering portability and convenience for technicians with reliable operation in all environments.
• Advanced triggers improve Measurement options making it possible to capture intermittent faults and fast acting glitches
• Advanced filtering (hardware and software) improves Measurement evaluation allowing technicians to remove or reduce measurement noise that might obscure the underlying signal waveform.
• Hardware frequency measurement improves Measurement options providing a real-time view of information encoded in frequency modulated digital signals, such as those from a digital AFM
• Large memory (250 million samples) improves Measurement options allowing long capture durations necessary to capture intermittent faults
• Maths channels improves Measurement evaluation providing technicians with automatic processing of data to display information most useful to them such as power or RPM.
• Measurements and rulers improve Measurement evaluation allowing technicians to measure crank angle and other phase-related signals within periodic automotive signals
