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.

It has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers, but I need more technical details on what each packet represents
We are using it for debugging PCIe PETracers. We are using it to measure PCI Express signals. We are using it to support connect devices in enterprise products Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"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."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"We heavily use it to validate the design assumption. In many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"It has a nice high-resolution screen. It is easy to set up the scope triggers, has a lot of scope trigger options for capturing waveforms, and seamlessly goes into the spectrum analysis mode."
"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"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."
"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."
"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."
"I would like them to be current with the latest standards. So, as soon as a new standard comes in, ensure that it gets rolled into the existing software."
"The interconnect methods to the device are a little limited right now. I'd like to see other ways of being able to connect to the device."
"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface. It creates a lot of crashes and bugs, which typically is a problem among all instruments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"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."
"I would like them to include a lot of the add-on options as part of the package. Typically, we start in at a price, and by the time we add up all the options that we need which are available, we are at double or triple the original price."
"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
