SATO Automotive Oscilloscope Series
The Micsig SATO series is a range of oscilloscopes that is characterised by its comprehensive diagnostic functions and user-friendly operation, especially in the field of automotive diagnostics. Compared to the ATO series, the SATO series offers slightly lower specifications, but remains a powerful option for users who need reliable measuring devices for vehicle diagnostics.
A prominent feature of the SATO series is the combination of a 10.1-inch touchscreen and additional physical controls such as buttons and rotary encoders. This combination enables precise control and easy navigation, even in environments where the use of the touchscreen alone may be limited. These physical controls provide an alternative control option that is particularly beneficial in harsh or demanding working environments.
As with the ATO series, the SATO series supports a variety of automotive diagnostics functions. These include tests on various vehicle components such as charging and starting systems, sensors (e.g. ABS, mass air flow sensor, camshaft and crankshaft) and ignition systems. The ability to capture analogue signals and convert them into digital information remains a key benefit of the series, enabling precise diagnostics and troubleshooting.
The SATO series also offers a screen-sharing function and remote control options for evaluating the data. These features allow technicians to share diagnostic data in real time or control the oscilloscope remotely, greatly enhancing collaboration and support.
Overall, the SATO series offers a balanced combination of performance and ease of use, with the additional physical controls and touchscreen allowing for flexible and efficient use. Despite the lower specifications compared to the ATO series, the SATO series remains a reliable choice for use in automotive diagnostics.
