MSO3000X-AWG – Dual-Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator & Bode Plot Unlock

🎛️ Generate. Stimulate. Analyze. All from One Instrument.

The MSO3000X-AWG unlock activates the powerful dual-channel 50 MHz arbitrary waveform generator inside your UNI-T MSO3000X Series oscilloscope. This integrated generator lets you produce test signals, simulate sensors, drive filters, and sweep frequencies—without requiring any external equipment.

But that’s not all. This unlock also enables the built-in Bode Plot Analyzer, turning your scope into a complete frequency response analysis system for measuring loop stability, filter behavior, and amplifier performance. It’s a game-changer for mixed-signal design and power electronics development.

✅ Protocol Decoding Always Included

Every MSO3000X model includes:

RS-232 / UART
I²C
SPI

🧩 The waveform generator and Bode plot functions require activation of the MSO3000X-AWG license.

📉 Built-In Bode Plot Analyzer

The Bode Plot Analyzer, unlocked with MSO3000X-AWG, allows full frequency response analysis without needing a standalone FRA. Inject test signals directly from the AWG, sweep across frequencies, and view gain and phase plots live on screen.

🎯 Use Bode Plot for:

Application	Example Benefit of Having It Built-In
Loop Stability Analysis	Inject into SMPS feedback loop to measure gain/phase margin. 📌 No external FRA or manual math required.
Filter Response Testing	Analyze cutoff frequency and slope of analog filters. 📌 Tweak passbands and see results instantly.
Amplifier Characterization	Sweep across audio or RF amp input to verify bandwidth and gain flatness. 📌 Confirm performance before production.
Phase Margin Verification	Identify phase shift at unity gain frequency. 📌 Ensure stable designs in converters and motor drives.

🧠 Real-World Use Cases

Inject sweeps into a buck converter feedback loop to tune compensation
Simulate PWM signals for microcontroller input testing
Characterize analog filters in op-amp circuits
Drive motor controller I/Os with bursts or ramps
Train students on waveform generation and control theory—all with one device
