Requires UT-M15 or UT-M26 logic probe pod (sold separately). See analog signals and digital bus states on the same time base. Essential for microprocessor, FPGA, and parallel bus debugging. 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 16 Digital Channels — Parallel bus capture alongside analog channels. Time-Aligned Display — Digital and analog share the same time base for comprehensive debugging. Protocol Correlation — Digital bus activity alongside serial decodes and analog measurements. Requires Probe Pod — UT-M15 or UT-M26 connects to the digital input port. License enables the channels; probe captures signals. 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: Microprocessor Debug — Capture address/data bus on digital channels while probing power and clocks on analog. FPGA Interface — Verify parallel data bus timing between FPGA and peripherals. Compatibility This option is compatible with the MSO8000HD Series: MSO8804HD (8 GHz). The same capability is offered on other UNI-T oscilloscope families: MSO7000X. Frequently Asked Questions Do I need the probe pod separately? Yes. The LA license enables 16 digital channels in software. The UT-M15 or UT-M26 probe pod (sold separately) provides the physical connections. 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.
