MSO8000HD Series: Advancing High-Resolution Oscilloscope Performance
Setting a New Benchmark in High-Resolution Test and Measurement
In the field of high-end test and measurement in professional contexts, capturing every signal detail with precision is a constant requirement for engineers. UNI-T’s newly launched MSO8000HD Series High-Resolution Oscilloscope is designed to meet this very need. As UNI-T’s flagship product for 2025, this series delivers 8 GHz bandwidth, a 12-bit ADC (up to 16-bit in high-resolution mode) for high precision, and a 20 GSa/s sample rate.
By integrating independently developed analog front-end chips with a seventh-generation oscilloscope platform, it achieves comprehensive improvements in performance, functionality, and user experience. Objective data comparisons demonstrate clear advantages over competing models, offering a versatile solution for demanding applications such as high-speed digital signal integrity verification, semiconductor performance analysis, 5G communication testing, and new energy platform monitoring.

Key Performance: From Capturing Signals to Analyzing Signal Integrity
MSO8000HD series stands out due to its refined performance in three key areas: high bandwidth, high resolution, and low noise.

Bandwidth and Sample Rate: Meeting High-Speed Signal Demands
Combines compact size with capable performance:
- Bandwidth options: 8 GHz (half-channel), 4 GHz (full-channel).
- 20 GSa/s sample rate: (10 GSa/s full-channel) with 1 Gpts standard memory (upgradable to 2 Gpts).
12-bit ADC, Unleashing up to 16-bit Resolution
MSO8000HD is built on a true 12-bit ADC architecture, which with 4,096 quantization levels delivers 16 times the vertical resolution of traditional 8-bit scopes. High-resolution mode further enhances this to 16 bits, capturing subtle signal details with exceptional accuracy across the full bandwidth.

Ultra-Low Noise and High Dynamic Range: Ensuring Signal Clarity
With UNI-T's proprietary low-noise conditioning chips, MSO8000HD offers:
- Noise floor: As low as 800 μV
- ENOB: >7 bits (at full bandwidth, 50 Ω, 50 mV/div, -3 dBFS)
- SFDR: ≥50 dBc (typical), clearly distinguishing main signals from spurious components
- Intrinsic jitter: ≤150 fs RMS, providing a reliable reference for high-speed clock jitter measurement.
All-in-One High-Performance Instrument: Versatile Measurement Capabilities
MSO8000HD combines several instruments in one, reducing equipment costs and streamlining workflows. Optional features can be activated as needed, offering both current utility and future expandability.
Serial Protocol Analysis
The sequence mode, for example, splits the 2 Gpts memory into up to 520,000 segments with dead time <1 μs, efficiently capturing intermittent anomalies (e.g., occasional glitches). Competing models often exceed 10 μs dead time under similar conditions, risking missed events.
