It would be good if they would try to automate most things because it has more pressing buttons and repetitive work. If there were automation scripts that they could provide, that would improve things.

We would like to have autotracking and auto error tracking for regression testing. We would like to know what error happened, when it happened, and during what scenario (such as setup), because right now we have to manually look at when it happened.

The user interface could be improved, e.g., the documentation on the menus. I have to open a separate document to figure out the functionality sometimes.

The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller.
GB
Sr Electrical Engineer at TVH
Feb 4, 2019
In the next release, I would like to see report generation. It would make it a lot easier to refer back to and, when doing final testing, seeing what went on during the pre-test would help.

I'm against the Windows-based tools. Now everybody is running scopes, VNAs, and all their tools based on Windows. I don't want to see that in the future.
