MSO8000HD-NRZ NRZ Signal Analysis Option
Overview
The MSO8000HD-NRZ adds NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero) signal decode and analysis — the foundation encoding for many high-speed serial protocols. 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
- NRZ Decoding — Decode NRZ data streams with configurable bit rate and threshold.
- Eye Diagram — Generate eye diagrams for NRZ signal quality assessment.
- Pattern Triggering — Trigger on specific bit patterns in the NRZ stream.
- 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:
- Serial Link Debug — Decode NRZ data to verify bit patterns and analyze signal integrity.
- Custom Protocol — Decode proprietary NRZ-based serial links.
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.
