NVH Advanced Diagnostics Kit

The Pico NVH Advanced Diagnostics Kit is a comprehensive solution for diagnosing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) issues in vehicles. This advanced kit features a unique “4th axis” capability, enabling users to pinpoint the source of vibrations with precision. By starting with baseline readings from the 3-axis accelerometer, you can systematically assess various points around the vehicle—left front, right front, left rear, and right rear—to identify the location of the strongest vibrations.

Features

• Four 3-axis Accelerometers & Microphones: Equipped with multiple sensors for comprehensive analysis.
• Real-Time Data Visualisation: Utilise the software to display vibrations through bar graphs, frequency charts, and 3D visualisations, allowing for immediate diagnostics.
• Dynamic Testing: Ideal for assessing cabin vibrations at speed, engine vibrations across the rev range, and other critical vehicle noise issues.
• Comprehensive Analysis Tools: Features like waterfall and spectral displays provide in-depth analysis capabilities, ensuring accurate diagnosis.
• Road Test Recording: Take the kit on the road, capture data, and playback results in the workshop for thorough examination.
• Dynamic Driveline Balancing Support: Offers detailed procedures for pinion flange and single weight balancing methods.
• Import Capability: Allows users to import WAV audio files for additional context in diagnostics.
