Why didn't I join sooner ?

Really excited to learn more about my pico. Interested in different techniques etc. I recently purchased a 4425,wps500,couple low amp clamps a high amp clamp and a can breakout box to add to the 2 channel pico kit and cop probe I already own. I was not a member of autonerdz until the purchase of the 4425 and I can say I used to use a point a shoot technique with the 2 channel and never learned proper use of the tool. Within a view hrs of familiarizing myself on this site, I know more than I new in 5yrs of using my old unit.

I own my own business. One man show with factory tooling Ford/GM/Chrysler. Looking to go down the domestic diagnostic rabbit hole. I am not happy with my skill level. I want to be an absolute diagnostic monster and will bust my butt to get there.

Looking forward to learn.

Thank you all.

Welcome to the group Bill! Wow, what a great intro post from you. Glad to see you investing in yourself and getting the value of your purchase. With that drive you have you'll get up to speed with your PICO in short order. Looking forward to seeing you post any questions you may have that we(the group) can help you sort out and captures you have taken with that scope of yours.

Again welcome to the group!

Hi Bill,

I see you finally got your Pico from Mick!

Now. The key to learning here from everyone is to post up captures and don't be afraid to ask questions. A lot of highly talented people here to include yourself. Wink

Feel free to lurk around and get accustom to the site. There are a lot of threads you can read up on to get you up to speed.

Once again welcome a board Smiley

Thanks Bob,

Everything went OK. Mick had to go through a few extra hoops to deal with my leasing company. Everything came in top notch.

I am setting up the pico so that at any given moment it is immediately ready to use. I am pitting in for some fun time to get me up to speed.

Surprisingly enough, some of our Picogroup members don't make use of the resources available to them.  While we do provide all the resources you need to reach your desired level of expertise with PicoScope, it does not happen by magic.  It takes a commitment to study and practice.

One of our members put it well I think.  Learning PicoScope is like learning a musical instrument.  It takes instruction, study, practice, and community.

Only you can provide the study and practice.

Welcome.  It will be a pleasure working with you.

Hi Bill
It was great working with you and Natalie to get you equipped with Picoscope products that  suited your needs.

I am often asked if financing is available, now I have found Natalie, she has said she will be willing to help future Canadian customers out.

Also a big thank you to Sean Hill for the referral to start this process.
I believe Bob had his hand in there too. Wink
Thank you all.

Great Mick,

Leasing has tax benefits, and is another means of financing. Glad you now have that connection.

Bob had mentioned that I should become an autonerd and Sean had referred me to you. Really happy to have all these great connections.

As far as the book keeper is concerned.
Required tools for the serious "work" I do. Cool
