Looks Interesting...Cost is about $300-$400...only downside is there is not currently any windows PC app for it, but you could run bluestacks on windows pc and run it inside that.

Intersting!  I didn't know this came out.  It looks cool, but for the price wish it had 12bit vertical resolution like it's older siblings.  For better than half the price you can get an Hscope, which has an amazing user interface and 12bit resolution, depending on which hardware you pair it with.  A nice other option though!

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on this, got it for $240 shipped from sainsmart, still reading/learning how to use it (the specifics of this one)...I do like the fact it's battery operated so I am isolated from mains ground (unless you use it plugged into mains, then it is mains grounded), but all the grounds for each channel are tied together (wasn't expecting otherwise for the price)... I chose this one because I already had a a 10" android tablet to use it with. guess we'll see how it works....I'll report back (might be a while - leaving out of town for work for a few weeks - day job (engineery stuff) once I get a chance to run it through it's paces.

hi, would be nice a follow up, i am using a pico 2000 series 2ch and want to switch to 4ch but wouldn't see anyuthing good in the 500euro/usd budget to match the 4 ch 2000 series.
Would be good to know how zoom works, since it's still 8 bit resolution, and if that black background can be turned white, or use with a laptop windows beside the android?
Micsig support not to good

it would probably be a good option. For me personally i've choose to buy the Ukrainian MTpro, which would be a much better motor diagnostic tool.
It's downside is that it's still 8bit not 12bit la Pico Auto, and not as powerfull, not being a 100% oscilloscope but more a diagnostic tool. But it has many useful tests

mlab.org.ua/mtpro/mtpro-price.html

Mlab is the manufacturer of MT PRO. Rotkee makes only probes and they said will no longer sell MT PRO.
At this moment i have mine in customes for 2 months from Mlab and a package full of probes from Rotkee and i feel like i'm going crazy. Boiling nerves. If i knew they will ship with national post i would have asked to use a fast shipping service. I';m from Europe.

Autel yes it;s 12bit and out of production but can't justify 800 from Aliexpress. Autel is very basic in terms of functions.

Sorry, can't give much of an update other than I am happy with it using my 10" tablet...my main job (HVAC Engineering Lab Tech & Backup Field Service Tech) has had me crazy busy for months between lab work and field service, I've only used it like 1 time to check a PWM signal (and it wasn't even on a car....lol)

I actually emailed him and offered to lend him mine for testing purposes if he needed one...I'll let you know if I hear back.

Thank you for taking the Time to vote for Micsig software running on the HScope software.   For those of us that have a Micsig VATO 2004 or VTO 2004 please vote for the HScope software it is hundred times better then the factory Micsig Software.  First off Micsig never updates there software, no custom probes,  no recording of waveforms, no presets, no pressure transducer setup, no true Automotive Functionality such as 720 Degree overlays or cylinder overlays for compression.  The list goes on and on for the software for the MicSig VATO software it has huge limitations and they don't care to improve it. Please vote for Micsig VATO running on Hscope software and take your 4 channel Micsig to a whole new experience.  A lot of us can't afford a Pico and can't just spending $4000 on a 4 channel automotive scope but with HScope and Micsig VATO 2004 we can get closer at a reasonable cost..  Martin Loren maker of HSCope software is constantly improving the software and coming out with new features monthly and you can even request new feature and be a beta tester.

Please vote at:    www.martinloren.com/oscilloscopes/upcoming-oscilloscopes/    For the Micsig Running HScope software or please check out the HScope Software features.

He Replied back to me...so yeah we need everyone we can get to sign up for that list.


Hi Jeff, this oscilloscope is planned for driver development in HScope. Just inscribe to the list and when this list will reach the target interest I should start with the development.I've already purchased this oscilloscope so no need to lend. Thanks anyway!Martin

Yeah, I'm hopeful it won't take that long...he also has a donation page where you can donate for new features, if I get a little extra money from some of my side work I may throw a hundred or two at him for costs associated with building the drivers for it. Oh and nice pick, looks like a solid scope.
