A pico scope is essentially an brand name of an oscilloscope. Basically, it is something that is used to display, record and analyze electrical inputs/outputs, vibrations, pressure, etc.

The various manufacturers have different types of service analysis equipment for their dealers. For instance, Ford's tool is an all-inclusive diagnostic reader, data logger and oscilloscope with integration to their vehicle workshop manuals; GM has most of their tools all separated and not integrated.
