Unlike conventional oscilloscopes that require multiple paid software licences, the MHO98 is delivered ready for advanced engineering applications straight out of the box.
Premium Special Edition Design
The MHO98 is not simply a bandwidth upgrade.
It is a collector-grade Special Edition featuring:
- Transparent rear housing
- Gold-plated identification badge
- Factory-enabled premium licence package
- Exclusive cosmetic finish
- Limited production model
These cosmetic enhancements distinguish it from every other oscilloscope in the MHO900 Series.
1 GHz Analogue Bandwidth
The MHO98 provides 1 GHz analogue bandwidth.

The higher bandwidth enables improved visibility of fast signal transitions, overshoot, ringing and timing behaviour.
Typical rise time is approximately 350 ps.
Four Analogue Channels
Four analogue channels allow simultaneous observation of multiple circuit nodes.
Typical applications include:
- Clock and data analysis
- Multi-rail power analysis
- High-speed serial interfaces
- Gate-drive measurements
- Sensor systems
- Communication buses
- Switching converters
- Mixed analogue and digital systems
16 Digital Channels Included
Unlike the standard MHO900 models, the Special Edition includes the PLA2216 logic analyser probe.
Users immediately obtain:
- 16 digital inputs
- Mixed-signal acquisition
- Digital timing analysis
- Logic triggering
- Parallel bus analysis

- FPGA validation
- MCU development
No additional purchase is required.
12-Bit High-Resolution ADC
The oscilloscope uses a 12-bit analogue-to-digital converter providing:
- 4096 vertical levels
- Improved dynamic range
- Better low-level measurements
- Reduced quantisation noise
- Improved ripple analysis
- Better small-signal visibility
Compared with conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes, engineers obtain sixteen times more vertical measurement levels.
High Resolution Mode

- 1 GSa/s (three/four channels)
High sampling preserves waveform fidelity during:
- Fast edges
- Short pulses
- Timing analysis
- Serial buses
- Clock measurements
- Switching waveforms
