MSO2204 | 200 MHz 4+16Ch Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
Overview
The MSO2204 is a 200 MHz mixed signal oscilloscope with 4 analog channels and 16 digital channels (logic analyzer included). It samples at 2.0 GSa/s with 56 Mpts memory depth and captures waveforms at up to 1,000,000 wfms/s — one of the fastest capture rates in its class — on an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen.
The oscilloscope provides 36 automated measurements with statistics, advanced triggering (edge, pulse width, slope, video, pattern, and area trigger), FFT spectrum analysis, and web-based remote control via LAN. Serial bus protocol decoding for RS-232, UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, and FlexRay is available as optional software licenses.
1,000,000 wfms/s capture rate for catching rare events
Key Features
- 200 MHz Bandwidth, 4 Analog Channels — Four-channel capture at up to 200 MHz.
- 2.0 GSa/s Sample Rate — Captures fast edges and high-frequency content with accurate timing.
- 56 Mpts Memory Depth — Extended capture without reducing sample rate.
- 1,000,000 wfms/s Capture Rate — Industry-leading acquisition speed reveals rare glitches, runts, and timing violations.
- 16 Digital Channels Included — Mixed-signal debugging with time-correlated analog and digital views. Logic probe pod included.
- 36 Automated Measurements — Time, voltage, frequency, and statistical measurements with real-time tracking.
- Area Trigger — Draw a region on screen to trigger on waveform anomalies.
- FFT Spectrum Analysis — Frequency domain analysis for harmonics, EMI, and spectral characterization.
- 8-Inch Capacitive Touchscreen — Pinch, zoom, and drag for efficient waveform navigation.
- Web Remote Control — Browser-based access from any device on the LAN.
- Connectivity — USB, LAN, VGA, EXT trigger, AUX output.
Mixed-Signal Debugging
The 16 digital channels display alongside analog traces with full time correlation. See bus activity and analog behavior on the same time axis — critical for debugging embedded systems where a protocol command triggers an analog response. Logic probe pod included.

FFT Spectrum Analysis
The built-in FFT converts time-domain waveforms to the frequency domain for identifying harmonics, EMI, clock spurs, and other spectral components. Combined with the 1,000,000 wfms/s capture rate, this helps characterize both time and frequency behavior of complex signals.

Advanced Triggering
Beyond standard edge triggering, the MSO/UPO2000 supports pulse width, slope, video, pattern, timeout, and area triggers. The area trigger lets you draw a region on screen and trigger when a waveform enters or exits it — effective for catching anomalies in signals where you know the expected shape.
Advanced trigger types for isolating specific signal conditions
Deep Memory Capture
With 56 Mpts of memory, the oscilloscope maintains high sample rates across wide time base settings. Capture complete communication sequences, power-on cycles, or slow mechanical processes without aliasing. Zoom into any portion of the record to examine details at full resolution.

Professional Applications
- Embedded Systems Development — Debug firmware with time-correlated analog and digital views. Decode SPI, I²C, UART, and CAN bus traffic alongside power rails and clock signals.
- Power Electronics — Capture switching waveforms with deep memory, trigger on specific conditions, and use FFT to characterize switching noise and harmonics.
- Multi-Channel Signal Analysis — Four analog channels for simultaneous capture of input, output, reference, and feedback signals.
- Education and Training — Touchscreen interface and automated measurements for teaching labs, with advanced features for upper-level coursework.
- Manufacturing and Quality — Fast capture rate catches intermittent failures that slower scopes miss. Web remote control for rack-mounted setups.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are serial bus protocol decodes included?
No. Protocol decoding for RS-232, UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, and FlexRay is available as optional software licenses. See the MSO/UPO2000 series page for available decode options.
What is the difference between MSO and UPO models?
MSO models include the 16-channel logic probe pod. UPO models are the same oscilloscope without the logic pod — add it later with the UT-M15 and LA16 software license. All other specifications are identical.
What makes the 1,000,000 wfms/s capture rate significant?
A faster capture rate means the oscilloscope acquires more waveforms per second, increasing the probability of catching rare events like glitches, runts, or timing violations. At 1,000,000 wfms/s, the MSO/UPO2000 captures anomalies that scopes with 10,000–100,000 wfms/s would likely miss.
Part of the MSO/UPO2000 oscilloscope series. All models share the same 2.0 GSa/s sample rate, 56 Mpts memory, and 1,000,000 wfms/s capture engine. See the series comparison table to find the right combination of bandwidth, channels, and accessories.
