Automates timing measurements that would otherwise require manual cursor placement across multiple channels. The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number and is permanent for the life of the instrument. Key Features Multi-Channel Timing — Measure timing relationships across multiple channels simultaneously. Setup and Hold — Automated setup/hold measurement for data/clock pairs. Propagation Delay — Signal delay between input/output with statistical analysis. Timing Histograms — Statistical analysis across thousands of acquisitions for margin assessment. Lifetime License Activation — activate once, owned for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no renewals, no maintenance fees. When You Need This Option The option fits the following workflows: Digital Interface Timing — Verify setup/hold margins for parallel data bus against datasheet specs. Clock Distribution — Measure clock-to-output delays across devices for timing budget compliance. Compatibility This option is compatible with all MSO5000HD Series oscilloscopes: MSO5034HD (350 MHz), MSO5054HD (500 MHz), and MSO5104HD (1 GHz). Frequently Asked Questions How is this option activated? The option is enabled by a software license keyed to the oscilloscope's serial number. After purchase, the license is registered on the UNI-T website to generate the license file, which is then loaded onto the instrument from a USB drive through the option-install menu. Refer to the oscilloscope's user manual for the step-by-step procedure. Is the license permanent, or does it require renewal? The license is permanent — a one-time purchase that stays active for the life of the instrument. No subscriptions, no annual renewals, and no expiration.
