Choose the Right Autel Tablet with Oscilloscope Support
Choose the Right Autel Tablet with Oscilloscope Support
A guide for workshops and automotive professionals to select the best Autel tablet for advanced diagnostics and waveform analysis.
Introduction
Within the Autel product lineup, the Autel MaxiSYS series represents Autel's most advanced and high-end diagnostic tablets. A common question many customers and workshops ask is: which MaxiSYS models support oscilloscope functions?
Currently, all models equipped with VCMI or VCMI2 support oscilloscope functionality. In the past, Autel tablets with oscilloscope support were limited to the MS919, Ultra, and Ultra EV, all of which offer built-in oscilloscope capabilities.
Recently, Autel has introduced the MS919S2 and Ultra S2, taking oscilloscope diagnostics to the next level. These new models not only support oscilloscope functions but also feature enhanced oscilloscope capabilities, making signal analysis more efficient and user-friendly. In addition, they can be paired with the Autel Maxisys MSOAK, allowing technicians to fully unlock and maximize the oscilloscope's performance for advanced diagnostics.
With the launch of the Autel MaxiScope MP608, Autel has expanded oscilloscope capabilities to an even wider range of MaxiSys and MaxiIM tablets. Unlike the built-in oscilloscopes found in the MS919, Ultra, Ultra EV, MS919S2, and Ultra S2, the MP608 is a portable USB-powered 4-channel oscilloscope that enables compatible Autel tablets to perform professional waveform diagnostics without requiring integrated hardware. This gives workshops greater flexibility while significantly reducing the cost of accessing advanced oscilloscope functions.
The MP608 features 12-bit vertical resolution, ±1% measurement accuracy, and support for modern communication protocols such as CAN FD and FlexRay. It also introduces intelligent features including AI-generated math channel formulas, AI-generated probe parameters, a built-in automotive case library, and multiple display modes such as Oscilloscope, Spectrum, and XY views. Combined with cloud synchronization, work-order management, and advanced PC analysis, the MP608 transforms compatible MaxiSys tablets into powerful, professional-grade diagnostic workstations for in-depth electrical and signal analysis.

Autel MaxiSys Ultra S2 Diagnostic Scanner
The Autel Ultra S2 takes automotive diagnostics to the next level with a larger 13.7-inch anti-glare touchscreen, a faster 2.7G 8-core processor, and double the storage (512GB). Featuring VCMI2, enhanced Topology 3.0, and AI-powered diagnostics, it is built for professional technicians.
Why Is the Ultra S2 Series Better Than the Ultra Series?
Advanced Data Stream
Ultra S2 devices support Data Stream 3.0, providing faster responses, smoother live data visualization, and more advanced analysis. The Ultra series only supports Data Stream 2.0.
Enhanced Topology Mapping
The Ultra S2 series features Topology Mapping 3.0, offering clearer system layouts, improved fault tracing, and more efficient vehicle network diagnostics. The Ultra series is limited to Topology 2.0.
New Intelligent Features
Ultra S2 introduces advanced functions not available on the Ultra series, including Vehicle ID Recognition (with a dedicated home screen entry), Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI), and an AI Voice Assistant, delivering a smarter and more efficient diagnostic experience.
Autel MaxiSys MS919S2 - Same Functions As Ultra S2
If you want a model with the same functionality as the Ultra S2 but have a limited budget, we highly recommend the MS919S2. It offers the same features as the Ultra S2, just with slightly less powerful hardware.
Autel MaxiSys MS909S2 - AI powered scanner
If you don't need oscilloscope functionality right now, we recommend the MS909S2. As part of the latest S2 series, it offers excellent diagnostic performance at a more budget-friendly price. If your needs change in the future, you can simply purchase the Autel MaxiScope MP608 separately to add professional 4-channel oscilloscope capabilities.
