Multiple Parameter Measurements

Parameter measurement is an essential oscilloscope function for engineers. The MSO5000HD Series offers 56 measurement parameters and can display up to 27 simultaneously. Each statistics page shows nine parameters, which can also be visualized through histograms and trend charts. Histograms illustrate the probability distribution of values, while trend charts track changes over time. For single-channel analysis, the parameter snapshot provides 39 test items, including voltage and time measurements, with results continuously updated. The series introduces an improved amplitude calculation method using top and bottom strategies, making parameter measurement more convenient. Additionally, a new burst analysis feature displays burst-related parameters, enabling fast and accurate evaluation of channel data.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the MSO5104HD include a signal generator?
  An upgrade for a 50 MHz dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generator is available with the optional MSO5000HD-AWG.

• What makes the 12-bit resolution significant?
  12-bit resolution means 16 times finer granularity than standard 8-bit scopes, revealing subtle signal variations crucial in sensitive analog and power applications.

• Are there 16 channels with the MSO5054HD?
  Yes, a 16-channel logic analyzer (hardware standard) can be used with the purchase of a UT-M15 logic analyzer probe (optional). The probe provides a maximum sampling rate of 1.25 GSa/s, a maximum memory depth of 500 Mpts and an input impedance of 101 kΩ +/-1% with the capacitive load of only 9.0 pF.

• Is there a Bode Plot Analyzer option on the MSO5104HD?
  Yes, the UNI-T MSO5104HD features a Bode Plot Analyzer as part of its integrated nine-in-one functionality. This feature works in conjunction with the optional arbitrary waveform generator (MSO5000HD-AWG), allowing you to perform frequency response analysis and feedback loop tuning directly on the oscilloscope.
