Relative compression testing is a fast way to check engine health without removing spark plugs or injectors.

In this example, PicoDiagnostics is used with a BNC+ lead connected to the battery to carry out a quick four-cylinder compression test while cranking the engine.

A simple health check that quickly highlights cylinder efficiency differences across the engine.

Take your Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) diagnostics to the next level!

In this video, we demonstrate the incredible multi-sensor capabilities of the Pico BNC+ NVH Kit, showing you how to monitor complex vibrations across multiple locations simultaneously.

Key Diagnostic Techniques Covered:
Dual Accelerometer Setup: Watch how seamlessly the software recognizes a second 3-axis accelerometer when connected to Channel C. We place one sensor on the seat frame and another in the engine compartment (right-hand inner wing) for a comprehensive vibration overview.

Mastering Display Modes: Learn the difference between "Vector Sum" and "Single" display modes. We show you how to visualize all six waveforms (three axes per accelerometer) on-screen at once.
Isolating the Fault: Discover how to declutter your screen by right-clicking to remove specific channels from view, allowing you to focus on just a single axis, like the Y-axis, across multiple sensors.
Dual Microphone Analysis: We add a second microphone directly to the engine bay . See how this allows us to directly compare the amplitude of third-order engine vibrations (E3) under the hood versus what the customer actually hears inside the cabin.
Unmatched Scalability: We demonstrate how this system can be expanded to run up to four accelerometers, giving you an unprecedented 12 axes of data to view and analyze in bar graph or waveform formats.

Capturing NVH data?

Use markers and shortcuts to flag events, pause and save without interrupting your recording.

PicoScope allows you to add signal markers manually or using keyboard shortcuts, making it easier to flag events as they happen. Shortcuts can also be used to pause and resume recording or save the current signal history without breaking your workflow.

Simple tip, easier analysis later.

No extra steps. No wasted time. 🚗🔧

With the new PicoBNC+ NVH Diagnostics Kit, simply connect your probe and Pico Diagnostics recognises it automatically.

No manual setup. No licensing friction. Just plug in and get to work.

Existing BNC NVH users? You’re still fully supported too.

See how it works in this quick walkthrough from Barney.

Bearing swapped, but the drone’s still there?
Mounts replaced, but the vibration’s still there?

The new PicoBNC+ NVH Diagnostics Kit helps locate the actual source of noise and vibration — so you fix the right part, first time.

✔ Three-axis accelerometer captures fore-aft, lateral and vertical vibration through a single channel

✔ PicoBNC+ automatic probe recognition applies the correct settings on connection

✔ Faster set-up. Fewer test cycles. Better results.

✔ Available in Starter, Standard and Advanced kits
