Built for Embedded Systems
Modern embedded systems combine analog signals, digital interfaces and increasingly complex communication protocols. The BMO200-EMB has been configured specifically for these challenges.
Two BMO-MSO logic probes expand the Magnova to up to 16 digital channels, transforming it into a powerful mixed-signal oscilloscope. Interfaces such as I²C, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN can be analyzed alongside analog signals, making relationships between signal integrity, supply voltages and data traffic immediately visible.
The package is complemented by the comprehensive Sensepeek 6027 All-in SQ350 Kit. Its hands-free probes enable stable measurements even on densely populated PCBs and allow multiple signals to be monitored simultaneously over extended periods. The combination of advanced mixed-signal analysis and practical measurement accessories makes the BMO200-EMB an ideal platform for development, troubleshooting and verification of modern embedded systems.

The Key Features of the BMO200-EMB Sets
Analyze Analog and Digital Signals Together
Two BMO-MSO modules provide a total of 16 digital channels in addition to the analog inputs. Communication interfaces, control signals and signal timing relationships remain visible within the same time context.
Make Complex Interactions Visible
Modern embedded systems consist of many interconnected signals. The combination of analog channels, digital channels and protocol decoders helps engineers identify root causes faster and better understand system interactions.
Hands-Free Measurements with Sensepeek
The professional Sensepeek measurement system enables stable measurements even on densely populated PCBs. Multiple signals can remain connected and monitored over extended periods, making it ideal for debugging, protocol analysis and troubleshooting.

Make Analog and Digital Interactions Visible
The BMO200-EMB expands the Magnova with two BMO-MSO logic probes, providing a total of 16 digital channels. Analog waveforms, digital control signals, and communication interfaces can be captured, displayed, and analyzed simultaneously.
In embedded systems, faults often arise from the interaction between multiple analog and digital signals rather than a single source. The BMO200-EMB keeps these relationships visible within the same time context, making it easier to understand and troubleshoot complex hardware systems.
Understand Communication Faults Faster
Serial interfaces such as I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and parallel buses can be decoded directly within the Magnova. Decoded data remains linked to the corresponding analog and digital waveforms.
This allows communication errors, timing issues, and signal anomalies to be analyzed together. Engineers can see not only what data was transmitted, but also how supply voltages, signal integrity, and logic states behaved at exactly the same moment.
Keep Complex Measurement Setups Under Control
The included Sensepeek 6027 PCBite Kit enables stable, hands-free measurements on densely populated PCBs. Probes can be positioned with precision and remain securely in place, even during extended measurement sessions.
This makes it easy to monitor multiple signals simultaneously without having to hold probes manually. Especially during embedded debugging, protocol analysis, and hardware troubleshooting, measurement setups remain organized, repeatable, and easy to manage.
Keep More Signals in View
The large 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen provides ample space for analog channels, digital channels, protocol decoders, measurements, and analysis tools to be displayed simultaneously. This helps maintain a clear overview, even during complex mixed-signal measurements.
For embedded development, this simultaneous visibility is particularly valuable. Control signals, bus communication, supply voltages, and analog effects can all be observed together without constantly switching between different views.
Stay Focused on the Analysis
The Flex-Encoder® control concept automatically adapts the four rotary encoders to the currently selected function. Whether adjusting zoom, channel settings, protocol decoders, FFT analysis, or measurements, the relevant controls are always available directly beside the encoders. During complex embedded measurements, this significantly reduces operating effort. Engineers can zoom, scale, adjust, and analyze signals without interrupting their workflow, keeping the focus on debugging rather than instrument operation.
Capture Critical Events with Precision
The Magnova performs triggering entirely in the digital domain using the acquired measurement data. Even the smallest signal events can therefore be detected with exceptional precision and reliably captured using adjustable hysteresis.
Combined with analog and digital channels, this enables detailed analysis of sporadic faults, critical timing conditions, and unexpected signal behavior. Especially in embedded systems, precise triggering helps reveal rare events in a reliable and repeatable way.
Analyze Signal Integrity and Noise
High-performance 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, a powerful 16-bit system architecture, and an exceptionally low-noise front end ensure that even the smallest signal details remain clearly visible.
This is particularly valuable in embedded development, where digital communication, supply voltages, and analog interference often need to be analyzed together. Noise, overshoot, coupling effects, and signal integrity issues become easier to identify and understand.
Identify Frequency Components and Interference
With up to four simultaneous FFT channels, waterfall display, peak tables, and markers, the Magnova provides detailed insight into signals in the frequency domain.
Interference, switching frequencies, harmonics, and coupling effects become immediately visible. In embedded systems, FFT analysis helps engineers identify the sources of unwanted signals and better understand the relationship between digital switching activity and analog behavior.
Monitor Long-Term Signal Behavior
With up to four independent counter and digital voltmeter (DVM) instances, together with integrated trend charts, the Magnova supports long-term monitoring of frequencies, voltages, and signal stability.
This is especially valuable when investigating sporadic faults, drift, temperature effects, or unstable operating conditions. Even rare events can be captured while relevant measurement values are continuously monitored and systematically analyzed.
Here you will find the videos we have already published on the Batronix Magnova oscilloscope. They show various functions of the Magnova – from FFT and decoding to generator functions and Bode plot measurements.
Most of the videos were recorded directly via the Magnova's DisplayPort output using video capture. They show the behavior and display that can also be seen on the device's screen. In the videos, we use a mouse for operation so that a clearly visible mouse pointer is available. Operation via the Magnova's touch display works in much the same way.
The most recent videos are at the top of the list and show the latest enhancements from the latest firmware updates.
