By "the wired version" do you mean the MX-02:



or the SCATT USB:



?

Scatt usb

The USB Scatt works by infrared light. So any sources of IR such as heat or sunlight are going to make the USB Scatt not work properly. I used my USB Scatt indoors but the zero would move around if the overhead lights were switched on/off. The zero usually jump out to somewhere the 5-7 ring.

The Scatt MX-02 has a small camera in the barrel sensor which detects the black of the target. So the MX-02 works well at outside. It can have issues in very strong sunlight as the trace will appear very "jagged" but overall it works very well.
