Introduction

The MSO series is a 3-in-1 (logic + protocol + oscilloscope) analyzer with 16 channels and each channel supports simultaneous measurement of analog and digital signals. When measuring power management-related protocols, it can analyze the protocols and record the voltage value that relates to the protocols simultaneously. MSO series provides Logic Analyzer Mode & Protocol Analyzer Mode for protocol analysis.

In the past, many users had many questions about the setting of threshold voltage in logic analyzers. Therefore, Acute has added a one-key voltage level automatic detection and setting function to the MSO series products to save users setting time

For power sequence measurement, the MSO2000 series provides more than 16 channels (up to 128 channels) of simultaneous measurement solutions
(Depending on the selected model)

• Logic Analyzer(LA) Mode
  

  MSO analog and digital channels can capture signals simultaneously.
  It can also stack an oscilloscope to compare digital and analog signals simultaneously, which is suitable for signal quality analysis.

  LA Storage Mode:
  
  Long Time Record: Transitional Storage VS Compressed Storage
  For signal capture and analysis, usually require to record the signal for a long time. If the data is stored in a compressed way, it will cause your software to lag or even stop functioning when decompressing the data after it is sent back to the computer. Because PC memory size might insufficient for decompressed data size. To satisfy the requirement of smooth software operation and long-term recording without missing any data, the storage method adopted by the Acute analyzer is transitional storage rather than compression. After returning to the PC software, it doesn't need to do the decompression. The decoded results can be displayed while the analysis is finished.
