MSO8000HD-CTS100 100MBASE-Tx Ethernet Compliance Test Option
Overview
The MSO8000HD-CTS100 adds automated 100BASE-Tx Ethernet compliance testing against IEEE 802.3 physical layer specifications — template test, jitter, rise/fall time, and signal amplitude. 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
- IEEE 802.3 Compliance — Automated measurements per 100BASE-Tx physical layer specifications.
- Template (Mask) Test — Pass/fail testing against the standard eye mask.
- Signal Quality Metrics — Jitter, rise/fall time, amplitude, and symmetry measurements.
- 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:
- PHY Validation — Verify your 100BASE-Tx Ethernet PHY meets IEEE 802.3 specs before compliance testing.
- Production Test — Automated pass/fail screening for Ethernet port quality.
Compatibility
This option is compatible with the MSO8000HD Series: MSO8804HD (8 GHz).
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
