Superior Memory Depth

The MSO3054X features an impressive 500 Mpts memory depth, which is 5 times more than the Rigol MSO7054 with its 100 Mpts. This exceptional memory depth allows you to capture significantly longer signal sequences at high sample rates, critical for analyzing complex behaviors in modern electronic designs. With this level of memory, you can maintain full sampling resolution while capturing events that span much longer timeframes—identify intermittent glitches and rare events that would be missed with lower memory oscilloscopes.

Enhanced Waveform Capture Rate

With a maximum waveform capture rate of 2,000,000 waveforms per second in sequence mode (compared to Rigol's 600,000 wfm/s), the UNI-T MSO3054X provides over 3X better real-time signal fidelity. This dramatically higher capture rate means you're three times more likely to catch intermittent events and glitches that could be missed with competitors' oscilloscopes. For engineers troubleshooting elusive timing or signal integrity issues, this capability can reduce debugging time from hours to minutes.

Advanced AWG Capability

The MSO3054X's built-in 50 MHz dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator delivers double the bandwidth of Rigol's 25 MHz AWG. This enhanced performance allows you to generate more complex and realistic test signals for circuit characterization and stimulus-response testing. The superior AWG capability is particularly valuable for testing high-speed digital interfaces, power supply responses, and sensor simulations where signal fidelity at higher frequencies is essential.

Industry-Leading Warranty

While Rigol offers a standard 3-year warranty, the UNI-T MSO3054X provides a comprehensive 5-year warranty coverage with free product registration. This extended protection period reflects our confidence in the reliability and durability of our instruments and provides long-term peace of mind for your investment.

All-in-One Value

The MSO3054X integrates 9 instruments into one powerful 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. Our special promotion includes ALL software options at no additional cost, making this the most comprehensive test solution in its class.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the MSO3054X compare to the Rigol MSO7054?

The UNI-T MSO3054X offers substantially better value with 5X more memory depth (500Mpts vs. 100Mpts), higher display resolution (1280x800 vs. 1024x600), and 3X faster waveform capture rate (2,000,000 wfms/s vs. 600,000 wfms/s). While the Rigol offers a higher sampling rate (10GSa/s vs 5GSa/s), the UNI-T provides this professional performance at less than half the price. With our current promotion, you also get all software options included for free—an additional $3,636+ value. The MSO3054X provides a superior balance of performance and value for most advanced electronics testing applications.

What makes the 500Mpts memory depth so important?

Memory depth determines how long you can capture signals at high sample rates. With 500Mpts - 5X more than Rigol's maximum 100Mpts - 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 a full 100ms of continuous data—5X longer than with Rigol's 100Mpts memory.

Why does waveform capture rate matter?

The MSO3054X's 2,000,000 waveforms per second capture rate (in sequence mode) is over 3X faster than Rigol's 600,000 wfm/s. This means you're three times more likely to catch intermittent events, rare glitches, or sporadic anomalies. In practical terms, problems that might take hours to find with other oscilloscopes can be identified in minutes with the MSO3054X. When troubleshooting elusive issues that occur only occasionally, this capability can dramatically reduce debugging time and accelerate product development.

Does the higher sampling rate of the Rigol MSO7054 make a significant difference?

While the Rigol's 10GSa/s sampling rate is higher than the MSO3054X's 5GSa/s, this difference is primarily relevant when capturing very fast transient events or analyzing signals with very high-frequency components. For most 500MHz bandwidth applications, 5GSa/s (10x oversampling) provides excellent signal fidelity. The MSO3054X's superior memory depth allows you to maintain this high sampling rate over much longer acquisition times, which is often more valuable in real-world troubleshooting scenarios than a higher maximum sampling rate.
