MSO5000HD-MANCH Wireless Communications Manchester Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis
Overview
The MSO5000HD-MANCH adds Manchester encoding trigger and decode to your MSO5000HD Series oscilloscope — a self-clocking line code used in 10BASE-T Ethernet, RFID, NFC, and industrial protocols.
Decodes data content directly on screen, saving manual transition interpretation. The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number and is permanent for the life of the instrument.
Key Features
- Manchester Decode — Decodes Manchester and Differential Manchester data with bit values on the waveform.
- Configurable Parameters — Set bit rate, idle polarity, and convention (IEEE 802.3 or G.E. Thomas).
- Pattern Triggering — Trigger on specific data patterns in the encoded stream.
- Error Detection — Identifies encoding violations at mid-bit boundaries.
- Lifetime License Activation — activate once, owned for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no renewals, no maintenance fees.
When You Need This Option
The option fits the following workflows:
- RFID Debug — Decode reader-to-tag and tag-to-reader Manchester communication for command/response verification.
- Industrial Sensor — Custom sensor uses Manchester encoding. Decode to verify data content and timing.
Compatibility
This option is compatible with all MSO5000HD Series oscilloscopes: MSO5034HD (350 MHz), MSO5054HD (500 MHz), and MSO5104HD (1 GHz). The same capability is offered on other UNI-T oscilloscope families: MSO3000HD, MSO3000X, MSO8000HD.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need Manchester, the individual license covers exactly that protocol. The BND bundle includes every protocol in the series.
How is this option activated?
The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number. After purchase, the license is registered on the UNI-T website to generate the license file, which is then loaded onto the instrument from a USB drive through the option-install menu. Refer to the oscilloscope's user manual for the step-by-step procedure.
Is the license permanent, or does it require renewal?
The license is permanent — a one-time purchase that stays active for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no annual renewals, and no expiration.
