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.

Questions and Answers
-
What Operating Systems Are Supported by the MSO3124E Software?
The MSO3124E software runs on Windows 7/8/10/11 (64-bit). Acute lists Linux and macOS support as a planned free update. It needs a USB 3.0 connection and at least 8GB RAM (16GB recommended).
-
Can Multiple MSO3124E Units Be Connected Together for More Channels?
Yes. Up to 4 MSO3124E units can be stacked with stack cables, giving up to 16 analogue channels with synchronised triggering from the master unit. The digital channel count stays at 16.
-
What Accessories and Probes Are Included with the MSO3124E?
The MSO3124E comes with:
- 250MHz oscilloscope probes
- logic analyser pod with LA20P flying lead cables
- grippers
- USB 3.0 Y cable with Type-C adapter
- stack cable
- carrying bag
-
How Does the Streaming Mode Work for Long-Term Data Capture?
On the logic analyser channels, streaming (transitional storage) sends data to the PC's hard drive or SSD for long recordings, limited by the PC's performance. It is not available with the analogue channels enabled. This suits intermittent fault detection and long-term monitoring of digital signals.
-
Which Model of the MSO3000 Series Is Best for Me?
The best MSO3000 model depends on your application. All models share the same 4-channel 200MHz analogue specification, 16 digital channels, USB bus-powered operation and 6-in-1 functionality.
- MSO3124E: entry-level model for general mixed-signal debugging, with basic triggering and cost-effective protocol analysis.
- MSO3124B: adds advanced triggering, including runt, pattern, timeout and bus triggers.
- MSO3124H: 16-bit high-resolution acquisition (at up to 100MS/s) for precision measurements, power integrity and low-noise work.
- MSO3124V: built-in electrical validation functions for I²C and MIPI I3C.
Intel SVID and AMD SVI3 support is available on the MSO3124H and V on request, subject to AMD approval or a signed Intel CNDA.
-
What Makes the MSO3124E Different From Traditional Benchtop Oscilloscopes?
The MSO3124E is USB bus-powered, so it needs no external power supply and is fully portable. It also combines six instruments in one compact unit, where traditional oscilloscopes need separate instruments for mixed-signal analysis:
- oscilloscope
- logic analyser
- protocol analyser
- DVM
- frequency counter
- data logger
-
Which Protocols Does the MSO3124E Support for Analysis and Triggering?
The MSO3124E supports over 100 protocol decoders, including CAN 2.0B/CAN-FD, I²C, SPI, UART, USB PD 3.1, MIPI I3C 1.1.1, I²S, LIN2.2, Modbus and PMBus. It offers protocol decoding, plus protocol triggering on the logic analyser channels.
-
Can the MSO3124E Be Used for Automotive ECU Development and Diagnostics?
Yes. The MSO3124E has dedicated CAN 2.0B and CAN-FD support, works with differential probes and offers mixed-signal analysis for automotive electronics development and diagnostics.
-
How Does the MSO3124E Compare to More Expensive Tektronix or Keysight Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes?
Premium instruments offer higher bandwidth options, but the MSO3124E costs a fraction as much. It includes 100+ protocol decoders (often expensive options on premium scopes), USB portability and 6-in-1 functionality.
-
What Is the Maximum Record Length and Sampling Rate of the MSO3124E?
Analogue: 512Mpts at 1GS/s with one channel, falling to 128Mpts at 250MS/s with all four channels (record length halves when the logic analyser channels are also active). Digital: 512Mpts at 2GS/s on 8 channels, or 256Mpts at 1GS/s on all 16. Streaming to the PC extends logic analyser captures.
-
Is the MSO3124E Suitable for Power Electronics and SMPS Design?
Yes, for general SMPS work. The MSO3124E has 200MHz bandwidth, works with differential probes and decodes power management buses such as PMBus. It has the basic trigger set (edge, width and video). If you need runt, timeout or bus triggers, choose the MSO3124B, or the MSO3124H for 16-bit resolution.
