Higher Bandwidth: Better Performance at a Lower Price

The UNI-T MSO3054X provides an impressive 500MHz bandwidth compared to the Rigol MSO7034's 350MHz. This means the UNI-T can analyze signals that are 43% faster, making it suitable for a much wider range of applications including high-speed digital designs, RF applications, and advanced embedded systems. Despite offering significantly higher performance, the UNI-T MSO3054X actually costs $2,100 less than the Rigol model. This exceptional value proposition gives you more capability at a dramatically lower investment—a clear advantage for any engineering lab or test environment.

Superior Memory Depth: 5X More Data Capture

The MSO3054X offers 500 Mpts memory depth, which is 5 times more than the Rigol MSO7034's standard 100 Mpts. This substantially deeper memory allows you to capture much longer signal sequences at high sample rates, which is essential for analyzing complex behaviors and identifying intermittent glitches. The combination of higher bandwidth and 5X deeper memory means you'll capture both faster signals and longer time periods—a significant advantage for debugging complex systems that would be impossible with the Rigol's limited capabilities.

3.3X Faster Waveform Capture Rate: See What Others Miss

The UNI-T MSO3054X can capture waveforms at an industry-leading rate of 2,000,000 wfms/s in sequence mode, which is over 3 times faster than Rigol MSO7034's 600,000 wfms/s. This superior capture rate dramatically increases the probability of catching elusive glitches and transient events that occur intermittently. For engineers debugging complex systems, this means spending far less time waiting for infrequent events to occur and gaining much higher confidence that you've identified all potential issues. The Rigol will miss many rare events that the UNI-T can detect, making the MSO3054X the superior choice for thorough debugging.

2X Better AWG Capability: Superior Signal Generation

The MSO3054X includes an optional dual-channel 50 MHz arbitrary waveform generator that provides double the bandwidth of Rigol MSO7034's 25 MHz single-channel AWG option. This higher-performance AWG option allows you to generate more complex and higher frequency test signals directly from the oscilloscope—ideal for stimulus-response testing in a wide range of applications. With dual channels, you can simultaneously generate different signals for more sophisticated testing scenarios, providing a significant advantage over the Rigol's single-channel limitation.

Industry-Leading Warranty: 2 Additional Years of Coverage

While Rigol offers a standard 3-year warranty, UNI-T provides our exclusive 3+2 Coverage: 3 years standard warranty with an additional 2 years available with free product registration. This comprehensive 5-year coverage exceeds the industry standard and provides exceptional peace of mind when investing in test equipment. Our warranty includes parts and labor, providing you with outstanding long-term protection for your investment.

Higher Bandwidth vs. Higher Sample Rate: What Matters More?

While the Rigol MSO7034 offers a higher maximum sampling rate of 10 GSa/s compared to UNI-T's 5 GSa/s, this advantage is largely offset by UNI-T's higher bandwidth and 5X larger standard memory depth. The UNI-T MSO3054X provides 5 GSa/s, which is fully adequate for its 500MHz bandwidth (following the common rule of thumb that you need a sample rate of about 5X the bandwidth). The combination of higher bandwidth, 5X larger memory, and 3.3X faster waveform capture rate delivers superior performance where it matters most for real-world applications—at a dramatically lower price point.

Better Protocol Analysis Support

The UNI-T MSO3054X includes RS232/UART, I2C, and SPI protocol analysis as standard features, while the Rigol MSO7034 requires you to purchase all protocol decoders separately at significant additional cost. With our current promotion, the UNI-T includes ALL protocol analysis options for free—a $3,636 value—covering automotive protocols (CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, FlexRay, SENT), audio protocols, aerospace protocols (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC429), and Manchester encoding. This comprehensive protocol support makes the UNI-T MSO3054X exceptionally valuable for engineers working on embedded systems, automotive applications, or any design using serial communications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the MSO3054X compare to the Rigol MSO7034?

The UNI-T MSO3054X offers 43% higher bandwidth (500MHz vs 350MHz) and 5X more memory depth (500 Mpts vs 100 Mpts) at a price point $2,100 less than the Rigol MSO7034. It provides 3.3X faster waveform capture rate and includes all software options for free. The only specification where the Rigol leads is in maximum sample rate, but the UNI-T's 5GSa/s is more than sufficient for its 500MHz bandwidth. When you factor in both performance and value, the UNI-T MSO3054X provides substantially better bang for your buck.

What makes the 500 Mpts memory depth so important?

Memory depth determines the longest signals you can capture at high sample rates. With 500 Mpts - 5X more than the Rigol MSO7034's standard 100 Mpts - 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. For example, at 5GSa/s, you can capture 100ms of continuous data, compared to only 20ms with the Rigol at the same sample rate.

Is the 5GSa/s sample rate of the UNI-T enough compared to Rigol's 10GSa/s?

Yes, the UNI-T's 5GSa/s sample rate is perfectly adequate for its 500MHz bandwidth. The general rule of thumb is that you need a sample rate of at least 5 times the bandwidth to accurately reconstruct waveforms (Nyquist criteria plus overhead), and the MSO3054X meets this requirement with its 5GSa/s rate for 500MHz bandwidth. While Rigol offers a higher sample rate, that advantage is offset by the UNI-T's higher bandwidth, 5X more standard memory, faster waveform capture, and significantly lower cost.

Are all the software options really included with the MSO3054X?

Yes! Unlike Rigol, which requires separate purchases for protocol analysis, AWG, and power analysis (potentially adding $4,593+ to the already higher $5,699 base price of the MSO7034), our limited-time promotion includes ALL software options for the MSO3054X at no additional cost. This comprehensive $3,636 value software bundle comes permanently unlocked with no subscription fees or future renewal charges. The Rigol also charges $1,399 for a memory upgrade to match our standard 500 Mpts memory depth. When you factor in the cost of all necessary software options and upgrades, a fully equipped Rigol MSO7034 could cost over $11,691, making the UNI-T MSO3054X over $8,092 more affordable while providing higher bandwidth and 5X more standard memory.

What warranty is included?

The MSO3054X comes with our exclusive 3+2 Coverage: 3 years standard warranty with an additional 2 years available with free product registration at uni-trendus.com/pages/uni-trend-product-registration. This comprehensive coverage includes parts and labor, providing you with exceptional long-term protection for your investment.

Are the free software options really permanent?

Yes! Unlike competitors who often charge subscription fees or require renewals, all software options included in this promotion are permanently unlocked. There are absolutely no subscription fees, no renewal costs, and no recurring charges of any kind. Once unlocked, these features are yours to use forever.

Is shipping really free?
