Saving a waveform? Don't forget the details.

Adding vehicle information, sensor details, wiring and terminal connections makes your captures easier to identify, reference and share later.

Here's a quick look at where to add them in PicoScope 7.

That’s a wrap on Automechanika Frankfurt 2026! A huge thank you to everyone who visited the Pico stand throughout the week. It was fantastic to meet so many of you, talk diagnostics, share demonstrations with our experts and finally show our new 8-channel PicoBNC+ Automotive Oscilloscope in person.

We’ve had a brilliant week and really enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces as well as meeting plenty of new ones. Thank you to everyone who helped make the show such a success — we’ll see you at the next one!

What happens when a rotating imbalance matches the natural frequency of a component?

It’s the final day at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026!

We’re starting the morning with another demonstration from our Automotive Applications Specialist, Steve Smith.

Steve uses an accelerometer and PicoScope NVH software to measure the natural frequency at 15.4 Hz, calculate the corresponding shaft speed and then demonstrate what happens as the system reaches resonance.

If you’re at Automechanika today, it’s your last chance to come and meet our experts, see the new 8-channel PicoBNC+ Automotive Oscilloscope and get a personal demonstration.

Tomorrow is the final day of Automechanika 2026, so there’s still time to come and see us!

Don’t miss our Automotive Applications Specialist Steve Smith, who will be presenting on Vehicle Networks at the NRF stand tomorrow:

🗓️ Saturday 12 September | 11:00–12:00
📍 NRF stand | Agora Park, 0, H16

You can also find the Pico team throughout the day for hands-on demonstrations of our new 8-channel PicoBNC+ Automotive Oscilloscope. :

Identifying bearing wear patterns: Day 4 at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026!

In this demonstration, Steve has two worn bearings and two very different noises: one with a grinding/drone characteristic and multiple harmonics and another with a more distinct knocking characteristic.

Using two accelerometers and PicoScope NVH software, see how Steve identifies the different bearing wear patterns.

We’re here for the rest of the show, so come and see our team for a demonstration!

Day 3 at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026!

It’s been a busy couple of days on the Pico stand, with some great conversations and demonstrations.

A big thank you to everyone who has stopped by so far!

There’s still plenty of time to come and meet the team. Our experts are ready to demonstrate the new 8-channel PicoBNC+ Automotive Oscilloscope and answer your diagnostic questions.

High dynamic imbalance in rotating shafts introduces unnecessary mechanical stress and vibration. Relying on static calculations alone can leave residual imbalance that affects long-term system reliability.

Using the Free Run feature in NVH software allows engineers to continuously monitor vibration levels in real time during adjustment. By placing a corrective weight opposite the measured offset on a test rig, we reduced final shaft imbalance from 7.4 g·cm down to 0.3 g·cm—an improvement of over 95%.

How do you currently verify dynamic shaft balancing in your test workflows?

Day 2 is here at Automechanika Frankfurt!

Our new 8-channel PicoBNC+ Automotive Oscilloscope is ready for another busy day on the stand.

If you’re at the show today, come and see it in action and meet the Pico team.

Troubleshooting complex automotive systems often requires capturing correlated data across multiple domains—voltage, current, ignition timing, and temperature—at the exact same moment.

Here is a full 8-channel BNC+ oscilloscope setup configured with primary test leads, 2000 A and 60 A current clamps, a differential probe, COP and secondary ignition probes, and a temperature sensor for comprehensive diagnostic coverage.

How many channels do you typically require for your complex signal acquisition workflows?
