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.

B-scan is its most valuable feature. However, we are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset.
Try it if it is within your budget. It is a good product. The learning curve is very quick. It takes about one or two days. While we have plans to use this product to support connect devices, we are not currently doing so. We are currently measuring signals from 3.0 and 4.0, and looking for 5.0.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"For this introductory electrical engineering lab, it's pretty well-suited to my needs."
"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."
"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."
"It's a good product."
"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."
"Tektronix is robust and reliable; it's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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."
"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."
"The power of the computer inside is weak. Sometimes I send a lot of data and I'll feel the lag... I would like to see them improve the processing power."
"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."
"I would like to see a lower price."
"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."
"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."
"I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product."
"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."
"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."
"The pricing is okay. It was within our budget."
"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."
"Isolated probes are good to have, as most of the scopes don't have it. It drives up the cost when you have to buy isolated probes."
"It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."
"We demoed the product before purchasing it."
"It is a great price for a great product."
"The pricing is very expensive."
