We use it to decide the materials which are best for PCB designs

We are able to determine losses associated with different types of materials. Thus, we are able to decide the materials which are best for any given design. The electrical measurements that this equipment is capable of measuring are the standard parameters. Therefore, it is mandatory for each company to have a vector network analyzer (VNA).

Because it does a smart software trigger in the PAM-4 GUI, it's very easy to hook up

We are using the full bandwidth of the product. 70 gigahertz bandwidth for real-time scope is important. To get the step response, we need that excess bandwidth. If I wanted to get a 33 gigahertz bandwidth with a good step function, I would need that excess bandwidth so I can apply appropriate vessel filters. They do have optical front-ends which are optional. We are taking advantage of that. In certain, very specific ways, it's field upgradable. I would imagine when they have the next product that it goes to a higher sample rate, and that'll be a whole new product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."

"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."

"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 jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."

"The user interface is good."

"Tektronix is robust and reliable. It's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor."

"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."

"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."

"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."

"B-scan is its most valuable feature."

"Being able to monitor data from a CAN bus while the vehicle is running will cut down a lot of the feedback for the design mode."

"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."

Cons

"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."

"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 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."

"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."

"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."

"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."

"We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset."

"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."

"On the source side, their AWGs don't have enough bandwidth. They need to increase the bandwidth of their AWGs, meaning they have to have a faster sample rate."

"We would like more features for the CAN bus decoding, such as importing DDC files, which allows us to take the raw data and convert it into engineering units."

"The ruggedness could be improved."

"There was a learning curve, which was a little tricky at times. Getting used to the GUI took time because we had to learn the different features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."

"The pricing is costly."

"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."

"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."

"It could always be cheaper."

"The pricing is okay. It was within our budget."

"Tektronix Oscilloscopes are really expensive for small businesses. The low-end scopes don't really compare performance-wise to what the other companies provide, like RIGOL . Mostly that just has to do with the software options."

"I would like to see a lower price."

"It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."

"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

"It is a great price for a great product."
