The Pulse Pattern Generator and Error Detector are co-located, making it easier to use. However, I would like a better GUI.
Take a look and do some demos. It will help you decide whether to go with this equipment or not. It took us about a week to become acclimated to the solution. We are not using this product to support connected devices, e.g., IoT development, nor are we planning to going forward.

The technical support ecosystem is what really makes it good.
Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products. The customer support is very good. If you need an application to do any measurement, you can easily get a hold of people to help you with it. This is a whole ecosystem. The user interface is top-notch in the industry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If your intent is to experiment with your signal to see if some boosting helps or your silicon doesn't have a lot of Tap features, then this is a good product to start with."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."
"The information that I can get with the VNA is useful for me to select materials, like copper, and all the information that it can provide is really useful, due to the processing of the data."
"It improves the functionality of our products and the products that I design, and I use it for characterization every day, and it directly helps."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"The customer support is very good. If you need an application to do any measurement, you can easily get a hold of people to help you with it. This is a whole ecosystem."
"We have done some measurements and also correlated with simulation and we were able to obtain a good match, so that's a good indication of the accuracy."
"We have often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
 

Cons

"The user interface is somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"Sometimes, the forms keep changing because of new product technology. If they could reduce the amount of change in the form, this would be good."
"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."
"I would also like to see a more detailed change-notice from version to version, what changed. If they had a more detailed description of what is changing and the reason for it, rather than just releasing, that would be good for us so we know whether or not to upgrade."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."
"The pricing is costly."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is always high."
