SENT is a point-to-point sensor interface for automotive throttle, pressure, airflow, and temperature sensors. SENT transmits digital data on a single wire, immune to analog noise and ground offsets. This decode reads sensor data values directly from the oscilloscope screen. 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 SENT Triggering — Trigger on fast channel data, slow channel messages, or error conditions. Fast and Slow Channel Decoding — Decodes fast channel (primary sensor data) and slow channel (config/diagnostics). Nibble-Level Display — Individual nibble values and timing overlaid on the waveform for SAE J2716 verification. CRC Verification — Checks CRC for every message — essential for detecting intermittent failures. 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: Sensor Validation — Verify SENT-output pressure sensor data accuracy — digital values shown in real time alongside the pulse train. ECU Input Debug — ECU reports erratic throttle readings. Decode SENT to find whether the sensor or ECU is at fault. Compatibility This option is compatible with the MSO8000HD Series: MSO8804HD (8 GHz). The same capability is offered on other UNI-T oscilloscope families: MSO2000X, MSO3000HD, MSO3000X, MSO5000HD, MSO7000X, UPO7000L. Frequently Asked Questions Should I buy this individually or get a bundle? If you only need SENT, the individual license covers exactly that protocol. The BND bundle includes every protocol in the series. 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.
