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 IEEE 802.3 Compliance — Automated measurements per 100BASE-Tx physical layer specifications. Template (Mask) Test — Pass/fail testing against the standard eye mask. Signal Quality Metrics — Jitter, rise/fall time, amplitude, and symmetry measurements. 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: PHY Validation — Verify your 100BASE-Tx Ethernet PHY meets IEEE 802.3 specs before compliance testing. Production Test — Automated pass/fail screening for Ethernet port quality. Compatibility This option is compatible with the MSO8000HD Series: MSO8804HD (8 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.
