I looked at picoscope some time ago but never bought it. It does look like a good tool though. It is basically a sound card! but it is analising the volts it is given instead of turning them into sound. There are chinese alternatives on ebay you may consider. At least you can get support from pico, their website has some good info on it in the way of graphs. I did buy a Vellerman hand held 'personal scope' from Maplin. It is not brilliant but does the job, as they say.

Pico Scope is a great tool, not just a sound card is a product designed for automotive and not just a simple oscilloscope. Pico is a product used in the U.S.A. and a lot full of gadgets to make it a motortester.
I think the best is the oscilloscope-motortester existing Bosch FSA 720 is matched with every PC or laptop, in addition to superior technical features is built by Bosch brand of high quality building motortester for many years.
You must select a qualified vendor who can assist you in using the tool (not the one it sells at less), because an oscilloscope and a very useful tool if you know how to use otherwise useless, in fact you can damage the diagnosis.

I've had a Pico for years (I got it direct from Pico). Fantastic piece of kit. Support is excellent. Well worth the money.
