- Utility model patent of Taiwan number M601827
The MSO2000 series is a 16-channel 3-in-1 (logic, protocol, and oscilloscope) analyzer, with each channel supporting simultaneous measurement of both analog and digital signals. When measuring power management-related protocols, it can not only decode the protocols but also simultaneously record voltage values. Currently, the MSO2000 series offers two different signal and bus analysis modes: logic analyzer mode and protocol analyzer mode.
In the past, many users had questions or were unclear about the voltage threshold settings in the logic analyzer. Therefore, Acute has added a one-click automatic voltage threshold detection and configuration feature in the MSO2000 series products to save users the time required for configuration.
Logic Analyzer (LA) Mode
- Capture digital waveforms and support bus decodes. Able to stack with a DSO to form as an MSO.
- Provides multiple storage modes, users could select to have long time recording or precision acquisition.

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.

Digital and Analog Waveform Settings
Each channel supports both digital and/or analog waveforms measurements, voltage resolution can be changed between 2 levels for all channels at the same time

Flow chart bus triggers
Power trigger for serial bus, 8-states flow chart setting with Counter/Timer
