Vu-Data Corporation was an American corporation headquartered in San Diego, California, that designed and sold electronic test equipment throughout the 1970s and '80s. It built oscilloscopes and other test equipment, and it developed a line of portable oscilloscopes that were unique, not only because of their small size, but because of their ability to be powered by internal rechargeable batteries. This feature increased their portability by allowing them to be used even in locations where an external power source was not readily available. Nowadays there are many portable oscilloscopes available,  but in the days before surface-mount technology and small high-resolution displays, they were much rarer. Vu-Data also sold other test equipment, including a transistor tester.

Vu-Data was incorporated in California in 1969. A (possibly recent) president of the company was W. A. Bill Kraus. Vu-Data never formally dissolved, but it ceased operations in 1996 and its corporate rights and stock shares have been revoked.
