MSO3000X-MANCH Manchester Wireless Communication Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis
Overview
The MSO3000X-MANCH adds Manchester encoding trigger and decode to your MSO3000X Series oscilloscope — a self-clocking line code used in 10BASE-T Ethernet, RFID, NFC, and industrial protocols.
Decodes data content directly on screen, saving manual transition interpretation.
Key Features
- Manchester Decode — Decodes Manchester and Differential Manchester data with bit values on the waveform.
- Configurable Parameters — Set bit rate, idle polarity, and convention (IEEE 802.3 or G.E. Thomas).
- Pattern Triggering — Trigger on specific data patterns in the encoded stream.
- Error Detection — Identifies encoding violations at mid-bit boundaries.
- Software License Activation — License key applied through the instrument menu. No hardware changes, no downtime — enter the key and start decoding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need Manchester, the individual license at $279 is the most economical. The BND bundle ($1,129) includes every protocol at the deepest discount.
How is this option activated?
You receive a license key after purchase. Enter the key in the instrument's menu under System → Options → Install. The capability is available immediately — no reboot, no hardware modification, no factory service required.
Is the license permanent or subscription-based?
All UNI-T software option licenses are permanent, one-time purchases. Once activated, the option remains available for the life of the instrument. No annual renewals or subscription fees.
