Superior Value Proposition
Open protocol interface
If the desired protocol is not included in the more than 100 protocol interpreters, or if there is a need to integrate a custom protocol, the open protocol interface of the MSO3000 series is a helpful feature. To implement a custom decoding function, simply write a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) and add it to the plugin folder of the installation directory. The structural design of the DLL describes the LA Open Decode Interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
Which model of the MSO3000 series is best for me?
The best MSO3000 model depends on your specific application requirements. The MSO3124E is the entry-level model ideal for general mixed-signal debugging with basic triggering capabilities and cost-effective protocol analysis. Choose the MSO3124B if you need advanced triggering functions including runt, pattern, timeout, and bus triggers for complex signal analysis. The MSO3124H offers 16-bit high-resolution acquisition for precision measurements and subtle signal analysis, making it perfect for power integrity and low-noise applications. Select the MSO3124V for comprehensive electrical validation work, featuring built-in validation functions for I²C, I³C, SPI, UART protocols, plus support for specialised power management protocols like Intel SVID and AMD SVI3. All models share the same 4-channel 200MHz analogue specifications and 16-channel digital capabilities, with identical USB bus-powered operation and 6-in-1 functionality.
-
How does the streaming mode work for long-term data capture?
Streaming mode transfers data directly to PC hard drive or SSD, enabling continuous recording limited only by available storage space. This is ideal for intermittent fault detection and long-term system monitoring applications.
-
What accessories and probes are included with the MSO3124E?
The MSO3124E includes 4x 250MHz oscilloscope probes, logic analyser pod with flying lead cables, grippers, USB 3.0 cable with Type-C adapter, stack cable, and carrying bag.
