MSO3000 Series
Advanced mixed-signal oscilloscopes combining 4-channel DSO with 16-channel logic analyzer. Up to 200 MHz bandwidth, 1 GS/s sample rate, and comprehensive protocol decode — the most capable combined instrument.
The MSO3000 is a 6-in-1 instrument: oscilloscope, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, DVM, data logger, and frequency counter — all through a single USB 3.0 connection. Four analog channels at 200 MHz bandwidth and 1 GS/s sample rate combine with 16 digital channels and 120+ protocol decoders. The MSO3124V flagship adds 16-bit high-resolution mode and electrical validation for I2C, I3C, SPI, and UART.
- 4 analog + 16 digital channels in one instrument
- 200 MHz bandwidth, 1 GS/s, up to 256 Mpts memory
- MSO3124H/V: 16-bit high-resolution analog capture
- Windows 10/11 + native Linux app (beta)

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.
