MSO3000X-ARINC429 Aerospace ARINC429 Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis
Overview
The MSO3000X-ARINC429 adds ARINC 429 protocol triggering, decoding, and search to your MSO3000X Series oscilloscope — the dominant commercial avionics bus for flight management, navigation, and aircraft systems.
A unidirectional bus at 12.5 or 100 kbit/s. Decode reads label numbers, SDI, data values, and SSM directly from the oscilloscope.
Key Features
- ARINC 429 Triggering — Trigger on label numbers, SDI, data content, SSM, or parity errors.
- 32-Bit Word Decoding — Decoded words with label, SDI, data, SSM, and parity fields clearly identified.
- BNR and BCD Interpretation — Automatically interprets Binary and BCD data formats per ARINC 429 spec.
- Gap/Timing Verification — Measures inter-word gaps and bit timing to identify specification violations.
- 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 ARINC 429, 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.
