got ours today, these things are AWESOME!

This might be the greatest breakthrough in modern society since women started burning their bras back in '69!

Absolutely unbelievable that you can buy a cell phone for 99 cents after rebate, and they have a protective case available for it.  

But the world's most powerful automotive scope just sits there, naked to the world, unable to be protected in any way from the harsh enviroment around it.

Until now that is.  Finally Autonerdz, and Autonerdz alone, has developed and marketed a case for this extremely valuable piece of electronics.

Good job!

We would strongly reccomend that anyone who has a Pico take a serious look at these cases.  What have you got to lose, except your Pico?

John and Mike

Wow after that post I think I'll order one right now.  ;D

Are you going to send them to Ron Brown or should I phone you?

Mick

Mick,

We can send these USPS, so you can just order them from headquarters for now.   ;)

Not sure Ron even knows about them yet....

I asked Ron to order one for me yesterday.

The pictures do not do it justice. They are fantastic. Ultra heavy duty, and very well made. I don't plan testing it out anytime soon, but it looks like it will do a great job protecting the pico from a fall. These are an absolute must-have in a shop environment.  

Too late for some.......a well-qualified colleague has already found that thermoplastic PicoScope cases and exhaust manifolds do not mix.
There's nothing like practical education. :D

Hi Bill,

This boot is made of plastic and would also not fare well exposed to that kind of heat.

Hard for me to imagine a reason why PicoScope would be under the hood at all.  Really shouldn't be.

First of all, there is the obvious hazards of heat and rotating engine components but also this exposes the scope and USB cable to unnecessary underhood RFI which can disrupt signals.  Even hanging it from the hood is not the best idea.

The ideal location is on a cart or in the cab.  The leads are plenty long enough to reach out to the test points.   ;)

i haven't noticed any "vents" on the pico, but does the boot interfere with "cooling" the pico?

PicoScope draws only a few hundred milliamps from the USB so I don't think cooling is a concern.  I have run a PicoScope 4423 inside the boot for many hours straight with no issues.

Some of the high end PicoScope test and measurement units with external power do have an internal fan....thone need cooling.

Tom the PicoBoot arrived on Thursday. Thank you for the quick delivery.
I was worried at first that it wouldnt fit back in my Pico tool box but no problem at all. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
