Why Choose UNI-T MSO3054X Over Keysight InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series?
Superior Memory Depth
The MSO3054X features an impressive 500 Mpts memory depth, which is 125 times more than the Keysight DSOX3054T/MSOX3054T with its 4 Mpts (optional upgrade). This exceptional memory depth allows you to capture longer signal sequences at high sample rates, critical for analyzing complex behaviors in modern electronic designs. Identify intermittent glitches and rare events that would be missed with lower memory oscilloscopes.
Equivalent Bandwidth Performance
The MSO3054X's 500 MHz bandwidth matches the Keysight DSOX3054T/MSOX3054T exactly, providing the signal fidelity needed for analyzing high-speed digital circuits, power electronics, and complex communication signals. Both oscilloscopes offer 5 GSa/s sampling rates, ensuring you capture fast signal transitions with precision, but the UNI-T model delivers this performance at a fraction of the cost.
Faster Waveform Update Rate
With an impressive 800,000 wfms/s standard capture rate and up to 2,000,000 wfms/s in sequence mode, the MSO3054X outperforms the Keysight DSOX3054T/MSOX3054T's 1,000,000 wfms/s rate. This industry-leading performance gives you the highest probability of capturing random and infrequent events that would be missed by oscilloscopes with lower update rates, essential for debugging complex digital systems.
Superior AWG Capability
The MSO3054X includes an optional dual-channel 50 MHz arbitrary waveform generator (included free with our current promotion), providing significantly more capability than the Keysight's optional single-channel 20 MHz function generator. This dual-channel capability allows for synchronized signal generation, advanced testing protocols, and comprehensive Bode plot analysis—capabilities that would require additional expensive test equipment with the Keysight solution.
Industry-Leading Warranty
While Keysight offers a standard 3-year warranty on the DSOX3054T/MSOX3054T, the MSO3054X comes with our exclusive 3+2 Coverage program. Register your product online and extend your 3-year standard warranty to a full 5 years at no additional cost. This comprehensive coverage includes parts and labor, providing you with exceptional long-term protection for your investment.
All-in-One Value
The MSO3054X integrates 9 instruments into one compact package: oscilloscope, logic analyzer, dual-channel AWG, spectrum analyzer, digital voltmeter, frequency counter, protocol analyzer, bode plot analyzer, and power analyzer. This comprehensive functionality saves valuable bench space and eliminates the need to purchase multiple separate instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MSO3054X compare to the Keysight DSOX3054T/MSOX3054T?
The MSO3054X offers significantly greater memory depth (500Mpts vs 4Mpts), a larger touchscreen display (10.1" vs 8.5"), dual-channel AWG (vs. single optional), and a comprehensive options bundle included at no extra cost. All of this comes at a substantially lower price point—just $3,599 compared to $7,200 for the DSOX3054T or $9,500 for the MSOX3054T—making it an exceptional value.
What makes the 500Mpts memory depth so important?
Memory depth determines how long you can capture signals at high sample rates. With 500Mpts - 125X more than Keysight's maximum 4Mpts - the MSO3054X allows you to record much longer signal sequences while maintaining full resolution. This is critical for capturing and analyzing complex behaviors that occur over extended time periods, such as startup sequences, intermittent glitches, or serial bus communications with long idle periods.
Why is 500MHz bandwidth important for modern designs?
A 500MHz bandwidth is essential for a wide range of modern electronic designs, including high-speed digital circuits, power electronics, and many communication interfaces. As a rule of thumb, your oscilloscope bandwidth should be at least 5 times the maximum frequency of interest in your circuit. So a 500MHz oscilloscope can accurately measure signals up to about 100MHz, covering most common digital logic families, high-speed serial buses, and many wireless communication systems.
How does the Ultra Phosphor 3.0 technology enhance signal visualization?
The MSO3054X features Ultra Phosphor 3.0 technology with 256 temperature levels, providing exceptional signal detail and making it easier to identify rare events and signal anomalies. This advanced display technology, combined with the high waveform update rate, allows you to see subtle signal variations and intermittent glitches that would be missed by conventional oscilloscopes.
