Mixed-Signal Analysis within the Same Working Environment
The BMO-MSO logic probe expands your Magnova with 8 digital channels and powerful tools for digital analysis. For a total of 16 digital channels, two logic probes can be used simultaneously. Decoders, triggers, and measurement functions integrate seamlessly into the same working environment Magnova users already know.
Communication analysis, troubleshooting, and timing investigations can therefore be combined directly with analog measurements. Analog and digital signals can be displayed and analyzed together.
All supported protocol decoders are included. No licenses, feature unlocks, or additional costs are required.

Key Features at a Glance
Reveal System Relationships
Communication interfaces, control signals, and status signals can be captured simultaneously and analyzed together. Analog channels remain available for monitoring supply voltages, signal quality, and physical behavior.
Understand Communication Errors Faster
Up to four protocol decoders can be used simultaneously. Decoded data remains directly linked to the signal waveform, enabling efficient analysis of complex communication sequences in their time context.
Part of the Magnova Platform
Digital channels use the same analysis tools as analog channels. Decoders, triggers, measurements, history, and counter functions are available for digital signals just as naturally as they are for analog signals.
Analyze Analog and Digital Signals Together
Communication interfaces, control signals, and status signals can be captured simultaneously and analyzed alongside analog waveforms. This makes interactions between communication activity, logic states, and physical signal behavior visible.
Magnova's zoom function operates across both analog and digital channels. From the overall system view down to individual bit transitions, signals, decoders, and measurement results remain easy to correlate.
Operation follows the same principles as for analog channels.
Understand Communication Errors Faster
Magnova supports up to four simultaneously active protocol decoders for I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and parallel buses. Decoded data remains directly linked to the signal waveform and can be analyzed together with analog and digital signals.
Configured decoders can be used immediately as trigger sources. In addition, extensive digital trigger and measurement functions are available to precisely analyze communication events, timing relationships, and signal states.
History and high-precision counter functions are also available for digital signals, supporting the analysis of sporadic faults and the recording of events over extended periods.
Organize Digital Channels Flexibly
Up to 16 digital channels can be grouped and configured individually. Channel names, assignments, and threshold levels can be adapted to the application. The threshold range of -9 V to +9 V allows the logic analysis to accommodate a wide variety of logic families and signal levels.
Multiple digital interfaces can be displayed clearly and analyzed simultaneously.
Configured channel groups, threshold settings, and other configurations are retained and immediately available again when the logic probe is reconnected.
Developed as Part of the Magnova Platform
Magnova is continuously evolving. New analysis tools, user interface improvements, and additional functions are regularly provided through firmware updates.
Because the logic analysis is fully integrated into the Magnova Platform, users of the logic probe benefit directly from this ongoing development.
Digital channels use the same analysis tools as analog channels. Decoders, triggers, measurements, history, and counter functions are available for digital signals just as naturally as for analog channels and follow the same operating principles.
Magnova as a True Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope
The BMO-MSO logic probe does more than simply add extra channels to the Magnova. Analog and digital signals can be freely combined, analyzed together, and evaluated in relation to one another.
The result is a true mixed-signal system that makes both digital and analog relationships equally visible.
