MSO8000HD-SPMI Power Management Serial Option
Overview
The MSO8000HD-SPMI adds SPMI (System Power Management Interface) protocol decode to your MSO8000HD Series oscilloscope — a MIPI protocol for mobile processor-to-PMIC communication.
SPMI controls voltage regulators, battery charging, and power sequencing in mobile devices. Decode reveals register accesses driving the power architecture.
Key Features
- SPMI Decoding — Command sequences, register read/write, master/slave transactions.
- Triggering — Trigger on slave addresses, register addresses, data values, or command types.
- Multi-Master Support — Identifies transactions from multiple bus masters.
- Error Detection — Bus contention, parity errors, protocol violations.
- Software License Activation — License key applied through the instrument menu. No hardware changes, no downtime — enter the key and start decoding.
When You Need This
PMIC Bring-Up

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy this individually or get a bundle?
If you only need SPMI, the individual license at $999 is the most economical. The BND bundle ($5,399) includes every protocol at the deepest discount.
How is this option activated?
You receive a license key after purchase. Enter the key in the instrument's menu under System → Options → Install. The capability is available immediately — no reboot, no hardware modification, no factory service required.
Is the license permanent or subscription-based?
All UNI-T software option licenses are permanent, one-time purchases. Once activated, the option remains available for the life of the instrument. No annual renewals or subscription fees.
