Uni-Trend Electronics US Inc. announces the release of the MSO1000HD Series high-resolution oscilloscopes, designed to deliver exceptional measurement precision and comprehensive functionality at a price point that redefines value in professional test equipment. Available in 150 MHz and 250 MHz bandwidth models with prices starting at just $659, the MSO1000HD series brings premium 12-bit resolution technology to engineers, educators, and technicians who demand laboratory-grade performance without enterprise-level costs.
The MSO1000HD series features UNI-T’s exclusive R12™ Premium 12-bit ADC technology, delivering 4,096 quantization levels—16 times the resolution of traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes. This superior vertical resolution, combined with ERES (Enhanced Resolution) capability up to 16-bit, enables engineers to capture subtle signal anomalies and measure low-level signals with laboratory-grade accuracy. The oscilloscope’s documented 60-75 μV RMS noise floor at 150-250 MHz makes it ideal for power integrity analysis, embedded systems debugging, and any application requiring precise measurement of low-amplitude signals.
Performance meets versatility in the MSO1000HD’s comprehensive feature set. The oscilloscope achieves a 200,000 waveforms per second capture rate (up to 1,000,000 wfms/s in sequence mode) using UNI-T’s Ultra Phosphor 3.0 technology with 256 levels of intensity grading, ensuring that intermittent glitches and rare anomalies are captured and displayed with exceptional clarity. With 100 Mpts of memory depth and sampling rates up to 2.5 GSa/s, engineers can capture extended signal events without sacrificing sample resolution.
The MSO1000HD provides nine instruments in one platform: digital oscilloscope, 16-channel logic analyzer (with optional UT-M26 probe), function/arbitrary waveform generator (25 MHz on -S models), spectrum analyzer with enhanced 1 Mpt FFT, digital voltmeter, 7-digit frequency counter, protocol analyzer with seven included protocols (RS232/UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Audio), Bode plot analyzer, and comprehensive power analysis suite with 12 measurement functions. This integration eliminates the need for multiple instruments on the bench, significantly reducing equipment costs and workspace requirements.
“The MSO1000HD represents our commitment to making professional-grade test equipment accessible to every engineer,” said Harvey Xiao, General Manager for Uni-Trend Electronics US Inc. “We’ve engineered a high-resolution oscilloscope that delivers laboratory-quality measurements, comprehensive analysis capabilities, and industry-leading specifications at a price that challenges conventional market expectations. When engineers discover they can acquire 12-bit resolution, 200,000 wfms/s capture rate, 100 Mpts memory depth, and nine integrated instruments for under $900—and many models for under $700—they realize that premium performance no longer requires premium pricing. The MSO1000HD makes advanced measurement technology accessible to university labs, small engineering teams, and individual professionals who need the best tools but face budget constraints.”
The oscilloscope’s 7-inch HD capacitive touchscreen (1024×600 resolution) provides intuitive operation through gesture control including pinch-to-zoom, swipe navigation, and multi-touch functionality. Combined with strategically placed front-panel controls, the interface optimizes workflow efficiency for both experienced engineers and new users. Advanced triggering capabilities include edge, pulse width, video, ramp, runt, over-amplitude, delay, timeout, duration, setup & hold, Nth edge, and pattern triggers, plus zone triggering for visual isolation of complex signal events.
The MSO1000HD’s hardware real-time waveform recording captures and stores up to 100,000 frames with USB export capability, enabling long-term monitoring and post-capture analysis of intermittent faults and system behavior over extended periods. The oscilloscope supports 56 automatic parameter measurements with histogram display, mathematical operations including FFT up to 1 Mpt, and comprehensive power analysis including switching loss, safe operating area (SOA), harmonics, modulation analysis, and output ripple characterization.
