MSO7000X-SENT

MSO7000X-SENT – SENT Protocol Decode Option

🚙 High-Resolution Sensor Bus Decoding for Automotive Applications

The MSO7000X-SENT unlock activates Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol decoding on UNI-T’s MSO7000X Series oscilloscopes. SENT is widely used in automotive applications for digitally transmitting sensor data—such as throttle position, pressure, temperature, and speed—with high accuracy and low latency.

With this upgrade, engineers can visualize SENT waveforms in real time, decode fast and slow channels, and troubleshoot communication faults across increasingly complex sensor networks found in modern vehicles.

🔍 Supported Protocol

🧠 Real-World Use Cases

✅ Throttle and Position Sensor Debug

Monitor fast-channel SENT data from accelerator pedal sensors, throttle position sensors, or torque inputs. Catch checksum errors or transmission timing drift.

✅ Temperature and Pressure Sensor Validation

Decode slow-channel fields used for ambient temperature, oil pressure, or fluid level monitoring in powertrain systems.

✅ Intermittent Fault Detection

Use high waveform capture rate and decoding overlays to identify glitches, missing nibbles, or sync issues in harsh electrical environments.

✅ Multi-Sensor Bus Testing

Validate performance of multiple SENT sensors communicating on separate inputs or logic channels under different load or startup conditions.

🔧 Features & Capabilities

• Trigger on sync pulses, status bits, or specific nibble values
• Display both fast and slow channel data with real-time overlays
• Export event tables for timestamped SENT frame logs
• Auto-format detection with support for variable nibble counts
• Error detection for CRC, sync, pause pulse, and frame length violations
• Correlate SENT decoding with analog inputs or digital logic traces

🛠️ Ideal Applications

• Automotive sensor integration and calibration
• Powertrain and drivetrain signal analysis
• Temperature, pressure, or vibration sensor development
• Sensor bus fault diagnostics and validation
• Automotive electronics training and curriculum
