MSO7000X-AERO – Aerospace Protocol Decode Option (MIL-STD-1553 & ARINC 429)
✈️ Flight-Grade Serial Bus Debugging for Engineers & Educators
The MSO7000X-AERO unlock activates advanced serial bus decoding for two industry-standard aerospace protocols: MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429. Designed for the UNI-T MSO7000X Series oscilloscopes, this software option gives embedded engineers, avionics designers, and technical educators the ability to inspect, trigger on, and validate avionics data in real time—without the need for a separate analyzer.
Whether you're debugging flight control logic, testing mission-critical data links, or delivering training in MIL or ARINC communication architectures, this option delivers the visibility you need into timing, logic, redundancy, and packet structure.
🔍 Included Protocols
Protocol |
Description & Use Case Example |
MIL-STD-1553 |
Dual-redundant, command/response bus used in military and aerospace systems. 📌 Monitor remote terminal (RT) activity and verify bus controller (BC) commands across A/B channels.
|
ARINC 429 |
Simplex, point-to-point protocol used in commercial aircraft. 📌 Decode navigation data, FMS communications, and sensor outputs via SDI and label filtering.

🧠 Real-World Use Cases
✅ Flight Control and Navigation System Debugging
Correlate real-time decoded MIL-STD-1553 messages with analog signal behavior. Identify malformed command words, status errors, or bus contention during mission profile tests.
✅ Data Logging and ARINC 429 Message Validation
Trace altitude, airspeed, or engine performance values broadcast over ARINC 429 to verify formatting, timing intervals, and label contents. Useful for both development and post-flight review.
✅ Channel Redundancy Testing
Simulate or observe cable faults and failover behavior on the 1553 A/B channels. Confirm timing, error recovery, and status reporting during line-switch events.
✅ Avionics Training Labs
Educate students on real-time avionics data buses. Visualize command words, RT addresses, and parity bits alongside waveform captures to reinforce protocol theory.
