VATO Automotive Oscilloscope Series
The Micsig VATO series offers a compact and cost-effective solution for automotive diagnostics, ideal for technicians who need a portable and easy-to-use oscilloscope. Compared to the ATO and SATO series, the specifications of the VATO series are more limited, resulting in reduced bandwidth, a lower sampling rate and fewer advanced features. Nevertheless, the VATO series remains an effective option for basic automotive diagnostic tasks.
A key difference between the VATO series and the higher-end models is the lack of a dedicated screen. Instead, the VATO series is controlled and operated via an external device such as a smartphone or tablet. This reduction to the essentials makes the device particularly compact and lightweight, which makes it ideal for mobile use where space and weight play an important role.
Despite the lower specifications, the VATO series offers basic functions for automotive diagnostics, including the ability to test various sensors and systems in the vehicle. The connection to an external display via USB-C makes it possible to still perform precise measurements, even if the operation is done entirely via the connected device.
Overall, the VATO series strikes a good balance between performance and mobility by dispensing with unnecessary extras and focussing on the essential functions that are sufficient for many diagnostic tasks in the automotive sector.
