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

"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"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 gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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."
"I like to use it and it does what I need it to do."
"When we connect Tektronix through our test boxes, that is the internet of things, because I have reached the Internet through the box."
"It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool."
"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"When I was looking for a scope for that lab, that five subdivisions per division was important."
"The user interface is good, not very complicated, and it is very intuitive."
 

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."
"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 somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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 use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"The ruggedness could be improved."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."
"I would like to see a lower price."
"I would like to see some WiFi capabilities. I would like to upgrade equipment, and if I was in the U.S., I could do that with WiFi capabilities."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the screen size. I don't really have a lot of complaints but screen size would be the biggest thing."
 

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."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The pricing is costly."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."
"It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."
"They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."
"I would like to see a lower price."
"It could always be cheaper."
"The prices are compatible with what they offer. Going forward, I would like them to become more competitive and dominant with their pricing in the market."
"They have academic pricing which is helpful."
"The pricing is very expensive."
