MSO7000X-AERO Aerospace MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC429 Serial Bus Trigger and Analysis Option
Overview
The MSO7000X-AERO adds both MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 aerospace bus decode to your MSO7000X Series oscilloscope in a single license — the two primary avionics data buses for military and commercial aircraft.
MIL-STD-1553 (military, 1 Mbit/s, redundant) and ARINC 429 (commercial, 100/12.5 kbit/s, unidirectional). Combined license at lower cost than purchasing separately. 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
- MIL-STD-1553 Decode — Trigger and decode command words, status words, data words, RT addresses, errors.
- ARINC 429 Decode — Trigger and decode 32-bit words with label, SDI, data, SSM, parity.
- Combined License — Both protocols in a single key — no separate purchases.
- Error Detection — Manchester violations, sync errors, parity failures, and timing violations for both.
- 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:
- Avionics Lab — Your bench handles both military (1553) and commercial (ARINC 429) hardware — one license covers both.
- Flight Data Recorder — Recorder accepts data over both buses. Decode and verify incoming data from both bus types.
Compatibility
This option is compatible with all MSO7000X Series oscilloscopes: MSO7104X (1 GHz) and MSO7204X (2 GHz). The same capability is offered on other UNI-T oscilloscope families: MSO8000HD, UPO7000L.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need Aerospace, 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.
