XENTRY Scope vs. PicoScope 4425A

[startronic]

Does anyone have experience using the PicoScope 4425A instead of the Xentry Scope?
I am not comparing HMS990 and PicoScope!

Does PicoScope 4425A work on the original Xentry platform?
Or does Xentry check the serial number on the Xentry Scope label?

PicoScope 4425A is not directly compatible with Mercedes-Benz Xentry diagnostic hardware without specific adjustments. According to the Mercedes-Benz Standard Service Equipment Program website, the PicoScope 4425A, which is included in the standard MBUSA kit, will not work with the Mercedes-Benz Xentry diagnostic hardware. It states that only the Pico 4425A, supplied from the factory with the Mercedes-Benz Star on the outer cover, will work directly with the Xentry hardware.

This information means that Xentry can verify a specific identification, such as a serial number or a special tag, associated with the Xentry Scope to ensure compatibility and proper operation. Therefore, using the standard PicoScope 4425A instead of the Xentry Scope may not be possible without special equipment supplied by Mercedes-Benz and compatible with Xentry.

 

[wahoo]

I have experience.
PicoScope 4425A does not work on original Xentry.
