The PicoScope 4823 is a low-cost, portable solution for multi-input applications. With eight high-resolution, high-speed analog channels you have a perfect solution for a range of diagnostic needs such as:
- V6/V8 Cam timing (4/6 cams plus crank, and sometimes a WPS), and VVT timing systems.
- Trucks, construction and agriculture equipment that typically requires a mix of electrical and hydraulic measurements on multiple valves simultaneously to diagnose problems with system interaction.
- Full system diagnosis on components (including power, ground, signals, current)
- Diagnosing faults on multiple serial busses (CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay)
The 256 MS deep memory allows several seconds of capture at the full sampling rate (ideal for long captures of serial data or looking for glitches). Managing all this data calls for some powerful tools, so zoom factors of several million are possible. Other tools such as the waveform buffer, mask limit test, serial decode and hardware acceleration work with the deep memory making the PicoScope 4823 one of the most powerful diagnostic oscilloscopes on the market.
The compact size and USB power make the PicoScope 4823 ideal for those on the move. For the first time you can carry an eight-channel oscilloscope in your bag!

Product Description
The floating ground design, ConnectDetect® and 200V inputs of our PicoScope 4225A and 4425A provide a very robust and easy-to-use scope, but the 4823 may suit an experienced scope user needing more channels.
If you’re perhaps involved in training, vehicle design or in-depth diagnostics, and require more simultaneous signals, the 8-channel PicoScope 4823 might meet your needs.
PicoScope is used and trusted by more authorised and independent repairers than any other measurement system because it gives them 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 4823 is simply the best eight-channel diagnostic oscilloscope for vehicle and equipment technicians, offering unrivaled performance for the same amount as equipment that leaves you stuck or frustrated by the limitations. The Pico community and resources are there for you every step of the way with a PicoScope diagnostic oscilloscope.
