MSO2000 Series

Q: Can I get a demo or evaluation unit of the MSO2000 Series?

Yes. Contact our engineering team at support@acutena.com or call +1 (415) 409-8771 to discuss evaluation options for your application.

Mixed-signal oscilloscopes combining 2-channel DSO with 8–16 channel logic analyzer in one USB 3.0 instrument. Built-in protocol decode and analysis for combined analog/digital debug.

The MSO2000 series combines a multi-channel logic analyzer with a simple oscilloscope (40 MHz analog bandwidth, 2 analog channels) in one compact instrument. With 2 GHz timing analysis, up to 8 Gb of memory, and built-in power sequence validation, it is purpose-built for platform bring-up and power delivery debugging. The MSO2216B flagship supports up to 128 channels of power sequencing when cascaded.

8–16 digital channels + 2 analog channels (40 MHz bandwidth)
2 GHz timing analysis with up to 8 Gb memory
Power sequence validation (up to 128 channels cascaded)
100+ protocol decoders including eSPI, I3C, USB PD

Key Capabilities

Device Cascading

Cascade up to 16 Acute instruments for 64+ synchronized channels of logic analysis — scale your channel count to match your design complexity.

Third-Party DSO Stacking

Stack Acute logic analyzers with popular third-party oscilloscopes for time-correlated analog and digital capture in a single view.

Streaming Mode

Capture continuous protocol data to your PC's storage — monitor buses for hours or days without missing a transaction.

Power Sequence Validation

Validate power-up and power-down rail sequencing across 16 to 128 channels simultaneously — critical for multi-rail FPGA and SoC designs.

Supported Protocols

I2C SPI UART USB PD MIPI I3C I2S SMBus PDM SVI3 Power Sequence PWM
