MSO2000X-LIN Automotive LIN Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis
Overview
The MSO2000X-LIN adds LIN (Local Interconnect Network) protocol triggering, decoding, and search to your MSO2000X Series oscilloscope. LIN is a low-cost, single-wire bus for body electronics — windows, mirrors, seats, rain sensors, interior lighting.
LIN networks handle comfort and convenience systems where CAN's bandwidth isn't justified. Decoded frame content overlays the waveform for master-slave timing correlation.
Key Features
- LIN Triggering — Trigger on frame IDs, data content, checksum errors, or sync break fields.
- Real-Time Frame Decoding — Decoded LIN frames (sync, PID, data, checksum) display on the waveform trace.
- Master-Slave Timing — Shows master header and slave response timing for diagnosing timeouts and schedule issues.
- Deep Memory Search — Search captured records for specific frame IDs, data values, or errors.
- Software License Activation — License key applied through the instrument menu. No hardware changes, no downtime — enter the key and start decoding.
When You Need This
Body Electronics Debug
A window module fails to respond. Trigger on its frame ID and capture master-slave timing to diagnose timeouts or bus contention.
LIN Slave Development
Verify your slave responds within spec with correct data and checksum across all conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need LIN, the individual license at $279 is the most economical. The AUTO bundle ($425) adds multiple automotive protocols at a discount. The BND bundle ($569) 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.
