Starter to Standard Upgrade Kit

This is a kit that upgrades your PicoScope NVH Starter Kit to a Standard Kit. It adds an accelerometer, a microphone, an interface, an extension cable, a BNC to BNC Lead (yellow) and a magnet to mount the accelerometer. It can also be supplied in foam for your tool drawer.

Mongoose J2534 Lead — Mongoose Pro ISO/CAN

PICO-TA512 J2534 Mongoose Lead - one of our useful NVH accessories

J2534 is a standard interface used in modern motor vehicles that was made mandatory in the USA. It features a connector usually located (in accordance with those regulations) within 2 feet of the steering wheel to allow the driver access to the interface. It has a USB connector and is plugged into the computer.

The Mongoose cable allows access to the J2534 interface and, for NVH, it returns engine and road speed information, which is necessary for the analysis of noise and vibration. The Mongoose Cable can optionally be included in any of our NVH kits.

Some OBD scan tools do work with the J2534 interface and NVH, but not all. The Mongoose is the tool, recommended by Pico, for NVH testing.

MEMS Accelerometer and Magnet

The small, lightweight, low-cost accelerometer used to measure vibration in the NVH kits. It is mounted on the vehicle and connected to the oscilloscope via an interface and one to three BNC cables.

The accelerometer has three axes, X, Y and Z, and can measure up to 5 g acceleration. Its frequency response is 1,500 Hz on the X & Y axes and 500 Hz on the Z axis.

The Magnet is a strong, rare earth pot magnet, and it allows you to mount the accelerometer. There are two mounting screw holes on the accelerometer to help you to orientate it correctly.

Microphone

The Microphone is used to measure sound pressure in the NVH kits. It is mounted on the vehicle and connected to the oscilloscope via an interface and one BNC cable. Its frequency response covers the entire audio spectrum. It is omnidirectional, which means that it can pick up sounds from all directions.

Extension Cable

The extension cable allows you to extend the length of the cable between the oscilloscope and the accelerometer or microphone. This is useful if you need to move the sensor further away from the oscilloscope.

The Interface

The interface is connected between the oscilloscope and the sensor (microphone or accelerometer). It is used to provide power to the sensor and to amplify the signals.

BNC to BNC Cables

These spare cables are used to connect the NVH Interfaces to the oscilloscope. They are colour-coded to help you identify the scope channel/s being used:

PICO-TA260 Insulated BNC to Insulated BNC Yellow
PICO-TA245 Insulated BNC to Insulated BNC Green
PICO-TA244 Insulated BNC to Insulated BNC Red
PICO-TA243 Insulated BNC to Insulated BNC Blue
  • Channel A: Blue
  • Channel B: Red
  • Channel C: Green
  • Channel D: Yellow
