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.

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

"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"Before silicon came back, our customers' performance was affected. Using these tools, we are able to deliver performance to our customers."
"Their software and hardware are integrated, so we don't have to spend a lot of time processing the data."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"The product's functionality makes things easier for my partner, who is doing the PCIe design. He is able measure the product's usage and bit error rate."
"The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."
"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."
"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."
 

Cons

"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"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 like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The pricing is always high."
"They're not cheap."
"It's very expensive."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."
"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."
