MSO3000X-SENT – SENT Protocol Decode Option

🌡️ Capture Sensor Data with High Resolution and Confidence

The MSO3000X-SENT unlock enables full triggering, decoding, and data analysis of the Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol on your UNI-T MSO3000X Series oscilloscope. SENT is a low-cost digital protocol used to transmit high-resolution sensor information in automotive applications such as throttle position, exhaust gas, pressure, and temperature monitoring.

With this option, engineers can decode SENT messages at the bit and nibble level, validate checksum accuracy, and confirm communication timing—key to building or debugging sensor-driven systems.

✅ Always-Included Standard Protocols

All MSO3000X scopes come standard with:

RS-232 / UART
I²C
SPI

🧩 SENT decoding requires the MSO3000X-SENT unlock. It is not included by default.

🔓 What You Unlock with MSO3000X-SENT

Feature	Description & Application Example
Fast & Slow Channel Decode	Decode main and diagnostic data channels. 📌 Used in throttle, pressure, or temp sensors.
Message Structure Analysis	View sync, status, data nibbles, and CRC. 📌 Verify message integrity or checksum logic.
Trigger on ID or Frame Error	Capture specific events, faults, or status changes. 📌 Ideal for startup behavior validation.
Configurable Tick Time	Match sensor timing spec (e.g., 3 μs, 6 μs, 12 μs). 📌 Supports a wide range of OEM sensor formats.
Exportable Event Log	Save decoded frames with timestamps for reports or debug sessions.

🧠 Real-World Use Cases

✅ Throttle Position Sensor Debugging

Decode fast channel values for high-resolution position feedback. Confirm accurate CRC and valid status fields.

✅ Pressure & Temperature Sensor Validation

Capture slow channel messages used for diagnostics or calibration. Compare actual data to expected sensor output.

✅ Sensor & ECU Timing Verification

Trigger on sync pulse to measure latency between sensor message and ECU response—critical in safety applications.

✅ Factory Testing or Qualification

Validate that SENT messages are within spec during manufacturing QA or sensor programming steps.
