I use an ADC-212/100 with the automotive software. Works perfect.

I only wish the new automotive scopes from Pico were faster as I need them for non-auto purposes. The faster scopes from Pico are blocked in the automotive software. ~~~~ers. With the price of them I'd buying a Ditex for auto stuff and a Pico or whatever for faster stuff.

How about using non-automotive Pico scopes with the automotive software ,works ?

Nowadays apparently the automotive software only works with the automotive scopes (which are pretty slow by todays standards and not much use to me with their limited speed and functions) and not the faster fancier Pico scopes. Pain in the 4rse really. I'd have bought a new quicker Pico if the automotive software worked with it. Their loss. The Ditex 4 channel wireless automotive is impressive for the price. And the accessories are an awful lot cheaper than the Pico stuff. Although, the automotive Pico is far better. You get what you pay for....
