With 10 GSa/s real-time sample rate (single-channel; 5 GSa/s dual; 2.5 GSa/s full four-channel), 1 Gpts of acquisition memory at single-channel mode (250 Mpts at full four-channel), UltraAcq® waveform mapping at ≥800,000 wfms/s standard (2,000,000 wfms/s in Sequence mode), and a 15.6-inch FHD capacitive multi-touch front end, the MSO7104X is a nine-in-one bench platform consolidating oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, AWG, DVM, frequency counter, multi-bus protocol analyzer, power analyzer, and jitter analyzer with eye diagram (some functions require optional license unlocks — see Detailed Features below). For 1 GHz mixed-signal R&D validation across faster MCU and FPGA silicon, switching-converter design at the 100s of MHz tier, high-speed digital interface characterization, and small test labs that need an instrumentation platform rather than a pure scope, the MSO7104X is the entry SKU into UNI-T’s MSO7000X line. Calculated rise time of 350 ps resolves leading-edge content on wide-bandgap (GaN, SiC) switching devices where 500 MHz scopes start to round corners. Selectable 50 Ω / 1 MΩ inputs (1 MΩ caps at 500 MHz) bring RF-grade options to the same channel front end. If your application needs 12 bits at full sample rate and full bandwidth, look at the MSO5104HD — same 4-channel benchtop form factor at the same 1 GHz tier, with R12™ native 12-bit ADC and ERes to 16 bits. Key Features 1 GHz Bandwidth, 4 Analog Channels + 1 EXT — Four-channel acquisition at up to 1 GHz with 10 GSa/s peak sample rate (single-channel), 2.5 GSa/s at full four-channel mode, and calculated rise time of 350 ps. Selectable 50 Ω / 1 MΩ inputs (1 MΩ caps at 500 MHz) support both general-purpose probing and direct RF-grade 50 Ω signal chain work on the same channel front end. 10 GSa/s Sample Rate, 1 Gpts Memory, UltraAcq® Acquisition — Peak 10 GSa/s (single-ch) / 5 GSa/s (dual) / 2.5 GSa/s (full four-ch) with corresponding 1 Gpts / 500 Mpts / 250 Mpts memory depth, all standard configuration. UltraAcq® multi-body cross-mapping with sub-1 µs dead time delivers ≥800,000 wfms/s standard and 2,000,000 wfms/s in Sequence mode. High Resolution Mode and ERes — 8-bit native ADC with two paths to higher effective vertical resolution: High Resolution acquisition mode (12 effective bits via single-acquisition averaging, full sample rate retained) and ERes (Math menu, FIR filter, +3 bits on band-limited signals). For applications needing native 12-bit at full bandwidth, see the MSO5104HD R12™ ADC. 15.6-Inch FHD Capacitive Multi-Touch Display — 1920×1080 with user-defined multi-window layout, gesture control, HDMI mirroring, mouse and keyboard support. Windows 10 Computing Platform — Intel Core i5-6500, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD; on-instrument MATLAB/Python post-processing and direct file system access. Nine-in-One Platform — Oscilloscope, 16-channel logic analyzer (optional MSO7000X-LA + UT-M15), enhanced-FFT spectrum analyzer, dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generator (optional MSO7000X-AWG), 4-digit DVM, 8-bit hardware frequency counter, 11-protocol multi-bus serial-bus analyzer, six-measurement power analyzer (optional MSO7000X-PWR), and jitter analyzer with eye diagram (optional MSO7000X-JITTER). 11-Protocol Decode Set — Standard: RS-232/422/485/UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, LIN. Optional: CAN-FD, FlexRay, SENT, AudioBus (I²S/LJ/RJ/TDM), MIL-STD-1553/ARINC 429. Optional Jitter Analysis & Eye Diagram (MSO7000X-JITTER) — Eye diagram with multiple clock-recovery methods plus full TJ/RJ/DJ/PJ/DDJ/DCD jitter decomposition for serial-link compliance work. Optional Power Analysis (MSO7000X-PWR) — Six-measurement suite: power quality, harmonic analysis, switching loss, ripple, loop analysis, safe operating area. Standard Mask & Limit Testing, SCPI & WebServer Remote Control — Production-line spot-check and pass/fail evidence reporting; full SCPI command set (USBTMC), LAN (10/100/1000), browser-based remote control with no driver installation. Detailed Features Nine instruments integrated: scope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, AWG, DVM, frequency counter, protocol analyzer, power analyzer, jitter analyzer. Nine Instruments in One Platform The MSO7000X integrates nine instrument functions in one bench unit. Standard configuration includes the digital storage oscilloscope, enhanced-FFT spectrum analyzer, 4-digit DVM, 8-bit hardware frequency counter, and the standard portion of the 11-protocol multi-bus analyzer (RS-232/422/485/UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, LIN). Function-unlock options enable the remaining four instruments: 16-channel logic analyzer (MSO7000X-LA + UT-M15 probe pod), 60 MHz dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generator (MSO7000X-AWG), advanced jitter and eye diagram (MSO7000X-JITTER), and six-measurement power analysis (MSO7000X-PWR). Optional protocol licenses extend decode to CAN-FD, FlexRay, SENT, AudioBus, and aerospace MIL-STD-1553/ARINC 429 — or bundle them with MSO7000X-BND. For R&D engineering teams consolidating across protocol decode, spectrum analysis, AWG-driven stimulus, and four-channel high-bandwidth scope work in the same session, the integration eliminates the cable-swap-and-instrument-handoff cycle that breaks engineering flow on multi-instrument bench setups. UltraAcq® Acquisition Engine — ≥800K wfms/s Standard, 2M Sequence UltraAcq® is UNI-T’s flagship acquisition architecture: multi-body cross-mapping with sub-1 µs dead time and waveform-mapping rates of ≥800,000 wfms/s standard, 2,000,000 wfms/s in Sequence mode. Compared to traditional 200,000 wfms/s scopes, the MSO7000X captures more than one million 200 ps fast-edge events per second — the difference between catching an intermittent fault and missing it. Paired with Ultra Phosphor 2.0 display rendering for visible escaped-signal capture. UltraAcq® delivers ≥800,000 wfms/s standard; 2,000,000 wfms/s in Sequence mode with sub-1 µs dead time. Windows 10 Platform — Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD The MSO7000X runs Windows 10 IoT Ent LTSC 64-bit on an Intel Core i5-6500 with 8 GB RAM and a 128 GB SSD — a real general-purpose computing platform under the instrument, not an embedded shell. Run automation scripts, install drivers, and post-process captures with on-instrument MATLAB or Python pipelines; direct file system access handles capture archival. Deep Memory — Up to 1 Gpts Standard The 1 Gpts memory depth holds the longest acquisition windows in the MSO7000X line at single-channel mode — capturing tens of thousands of waveforms in a single acquisition for post-event analysis. At dual-channel mode, memory remains 500 Mpts; at full four-channel, 250 Mpts — still the deepest standard-configuration memory in any UNI-T scope below the flagship MSO8000HD. For protocol-event hunting on high-traffic CAN-FD or FlexRay buses, switching-converter transient analysis across multiple cycles, and long-duration jitter characterization, the deep-memory budget removes the sample-rate vs. window-length trade-off that defines mid-tier scopes. Vertical Resolution — 8-Bit Native with High Resolution Mode and ERes The MSO7104X has an 8-bit native ADC with two paths to higher effective vertical resolution. High Resolution mode (acquisition menu) applies single-acquisition moving averaging across adjacent samples to reach up to 12 effective bits at full sample rate — useful for general-purpose noise reduction on switching ripple, sensor outputs, and jitter work. Enhanced Resolution (ERes, Math menu) applies an FIR filter for up to 3 additional bits on band-limited signals, trading sample rate for resolution (each 0.5-bit improvement halves the usable rate). ERes is the right tool when bandwidth is plentiful and resolution is the constraint. If your application needs 12 bits at full sample rate and full bandwidth, look at the MSO5104HD — same 1 GHz bandwidth tier, but with UNI-T’s R12™ native 12-bit ADC. Frequency analysis up to oscilloscope analog bandwidth; multiple spectrum view types. Built-In Spectrum Analyzer — Enhanced FFT to 1 Mpts The standard enhanced-FFT spectrum analyzer covers the full oscilloscope analog bandwidth with up to 1 Mpts FFT length and multiple view types (amplitude, power, PSD, real, imaginary, phase). Two spectrum-view windows can run simultaneously across five window functions (Rectangular, Hanning, Blackman, Hamming, Flattop) — for harmonic ID, EMI pre-compliance sweeps, and modulated-signal analysis without the cable swap a separate analyzer requires. Protocol Analysis — 11 Bus Types Across Five Domains Eleven protocols across five bus domains: computer (RS-232/422/485/UART), embedded (I²C, SPI), and automotive (CAN, LIN) standard; CAN-FD, FlexRay, SENT, AudioBus (I²S/LJ/RJ/TDM), and aerospace MIL-STD-1553/ARINC 429 optional. Trigger-and-decode integration covers frame-error, identifier-match, CRC-failure, and pattern-match conditions with inline decode display, event list, and search. The optional MSO7000X-BND upgrade suite bundles JITTER, PWR, CAN-FD, FlexRay, SENT, AUDIO, and AERO in a single package. 11 protocols across computer, automotive, audio, aerospace, and embedded domains. Eye diagram with clock recovery; full TJ/RJ/DJ/PJ/DDJ/DCD jitter decomposition. Jitter Analysis and Eye Diagram (Optional MSO7000X-JITTER) For high-speed serial-link compliance and signal-integrity work, the optional MSO7000X-JITTER package adds eye-diagram analysis with multiple clock-recovery methods (fixed frequency, first-order PLL, second-order PLL, external clock), standard and user-defined eye templates, and full jitter decomposition: TIE, TJ BER, RJ, DJ, PJ, DDJ, DCD. Visualization includes TIE trend, TIE spectrogram, histogram, and bathtub curve. Eye-diagram parameters cover Eye Amplitude, Height, Width, Level 1/0, and Q-factor. 60 MHz Dual-Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator (Optional) The optional MSO7000X-AWG package adds a 60 MHz dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generator (16-bit, 625 MSa/s) with sine, square, pulse, ramp, noise, DC, and 200+ pre-loaded arbitrary waveforms plus a custom-waveform editor. Modulation and sweep modes support stimulus-response work, closed-loop stability sweeps paired with MSO7000X-PWR, and time-correlated stimulus-and-capture testing alongside scope acquisition. MSO7000X-AWG: 60 MHz, 2-channel, 16-bit, 625 MSa/s; 200+ built-in arbitrary waveforms. Optional MSO7000X-PWR: power quality, harmonic, switching loss, ripple, loop, SOA. Power Analysis (Optional MSO7000X-PWR) — Six Measurement Types For switching-mode power-supply validation, motor-drive characterization, and wide-bandgap (GaN, SiC) DC-DC converter design at moderate switching frequencies, the optional MSO7000X-PWR power-analysis package adds a six-measurement suite (power quality, harmonic analysis, switching loss, ripple analysis, loop analysis, safe operating area) to the four-channel acquisition path. The same scope that captures gate-drive waveforms also computes switching loss across the cycle, replaces a separate power analyzer for design-phase characterization, and pairs with the optional MSO7000X-AWG for closed-loop stability sweeps on switching converters. At 1 GHz of analog bandwidth, the package handles the switching frequencies where wide-bandgap converters and high-speed PoL designs operate. Mask and Limit Testing — Standard Standard mask and limit testing for production-line spot-checks, compliance verification, and pass/fail evidence reporting. Custom or template masks; configurable failure actions (Stop, Save, Alarm, Generate Test Report) with integrated test-report output for design-verification workflows. 48 Automated Measurements with Histogram and Trend Statistics 48 automated measurement parameters across voltage, timing, statistical, and burst measurements; up to 10 displayed simultaneously, 35 in Quick Meas mode. Statistics include current, average, max, min, standard deviation, count, histogram, trend chart, and trace analysis. Histogram analysis covers μ±1σ / μ±2σ / μ±3σ distribution, mode, mean, peak count, and total sample size — for jitter, long-record, and pass/fail evidence work. Fast Fuzzy Autoset — Under 1.5 Seconds Full-Channel Fuzzy-logic autoset uses the 8-bit hardware frequency counter and multi-channel parallel processing to lock onto unknown signals: all-channel autoset under 1.5 seconds, single-channel under 1.4 seconds — meaningful on production spot-checks, design-review benches, and customer-bench service work where setup time affects billable engagement. 15.6-Inch FHD Capacitive Multi-Touch UI The 15.6-inch 1920×1080 FHD capacitive multi-touch display supports standard gestures (click, slide, zoom, edit, drag) for direct waveform manipulation. The user-defined multi-window layout docks channel menu, FFT, decode list, math, and measurement panels to N/S/E/W regions or floats them arbitrarily — the 15.6-inch real estate accommodates reference, decode, math, FFT, and digital channels visible simultaneously. Knob-and-key controls remain alongside touch; HDMI mirrors to external monitors; mouse and keyboard support handle long-session work. 15.6-inch 1920×1080 capacitive multi-touch with user-defined multi-window layout. Connectivity, SCPI, and WebServer Remote Control USB Host (4: two front, two rear), USB Device, LAN (10/100/1000 BASE-T), HDMI display output, AUX In/Out (trigger sync, AWG trigger, pass/fail), 10 MHz Ref In/Out for multi-instrument clock sync, EXT Trig BNC, and Kensington lock. Full SCPI command set (USBTMC); built-in WebServer provides browser-based remote control from PC or smartphone via IP address — view state, export waveform files, screenshot, and control via remote keyboard and mouse without driver installation.

If your fastest signal edges are below ~700 MHz and you don’t need the additional 1 GHz of single-channel-mode analog bandwidth, the MSO7104X has the same 10 GSa/s peak sample rate, the same 1 Gpts memory at single-channel mode, the same UltraAcq® acquisition engine, the same Windows 10 platform, and the same 11-protocol decode set as the MSO7204X — the 1 GHz vs 2 GHz analog bandwidth ceiling is the only meaningful difference on the spec sheet. The MSO7204X is worth the step-up when you’re working at the rise-time edge of 2 GHz analog signal-integrity, characterizing high-speed serial-link compliance (USB 3.0, PCIe Gen 1/2 region, MIPI), running jitter analysis on data rates above ~1 Gbps, or validating customer designs in test-lab service work where the headroom matters for measurement accuracy. What's the difference between standard capture rate and Sequence mode? Standard capture rate (≥800,000 wfms/s via UltraAcq®) is the MSO7104X’s continuous real-time waveform acquisition rate. Sequence mode (2,000,000 wfms/s) uses segmented memory to capture multiple trigger-conditioned frames for post-capture replay — for rare-event hunting where the trigger is well-defined.
