The PicoDiagnostics NVH Starter Kit (PQ126) is an essential tool for automotive and diesel technicians aiming to efficiently diagnose and resolve noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) issues. By capturing and analyzing vibrations and sounds within a vehicle, this kit helps pinpoint the root causes of common complaints such as cabin noise, engine vibrations, and drivetrain disturbances.
Utilizing a 3-axis accelerometer and a high-sensitivity microphone, the NVH Starter Kit interfaces seamlessly with PicoScope Automotive oscilloscopes (models 4425, 4225, 4423, 4223) to provide comprehensive data visualization. Technicians can view results in various formats, including bar graphs, frequency charts, and 3D spectral displays, facilitating a thorough understanding of NVH issues.
The kit’s user-friendly software allows for pre-test recordings, ensuring data is captured during road tests without distracting the driver. Post-test analysis can be conducted conveniently on a PC or laptop, and reports can be saved and shared with customers, enhancing transparency and trust.
