Hi Randy,
AES has a nice coil in cap adapter set that works great with the Pico (link below). I use them myself. They also have adapters for COP.
In COP systems with primary access, you can get the spark line information from the primary pattern.
Ferret makes an adapter for lab scopes that allows for parading multiple cylinders on DIS etc. but I have not used one. Usually takes longer to hook it up than it does to locate the problem. I will use both secondary pickups with one on each side of the DIS coil and watch power and waste simultaneoudly. This provides a highly detailed picture of that coil activity and is a great diagnostic technique. You can set Pico up so both pos and neg appear 'right side up' and you can even zoom in and measure the time between waste and power firings.
Hope this helps
