I have saved almost 50 percent of my total budget for a project by using their products

The use of this solution does require a specific mindset. Some people are not tailored for it. Try it. The learning curve is really fast, so it's easy to use. We are measuring RF signals, one-sided analog signals, and control loops for system controls. We are not using this product to support connected devices 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 user interface is absolutely great. It creates an easy working environment because it has well-integrated hardware and software. So, it is easy to use."

"It saves me a lot of time. You can click a button and walk away, basically doing a week's worth of work in 20 minutes, it's a pretty good time saver."

"Go with their products."

"I chose this solution because it integrates a lot of functionality in one piece of equipment."

"Using this product is helpful, so I would recommend it to people at any other company."

"The user interface is very good, their boards are reliable, we buy boards from them, they are reliable, and we don't have problems with them."

"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."

"It makes programming simpler."

More National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes pros

"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."

"The most valuable feature is the Protocol Analyzer for protocol testing, and the user interface is good, neat, intuitive, and easy to use."

"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately."

"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."

"I would totally recommend this product."

"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."

"By pre-qualifying test devices with the tool, we're able to go back and make design changes before committing to silicon."

"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."

Cons

"The price is a little steep."

"I would like more competitive pricing."

"It took a good year until I felt proficient using the product, as It is a complex program. Their newest version has a less steep learning curve, but back closer to 15 years ago, it was a lot less user-friendly."

"The software has room for improvement."

"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."

"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."

"National Instruments needs to be focusing on its 5G RF applications. They are aware of this, and that's where most of their R&D is going."

More National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes cons

"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."

"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface."

"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."

"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."

"I would like them to add more post processing capabilities (e.g., with new product specifications)."

"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the equipment has room for improvement. The pricing could improve."

"These products are a very low-cost, effective alternative to traditional Big Iron ATE hardware."

"It's reasonably priced for what we spend our money on in the lab. It's one of the lower-end purchases."

"They have an initial investment cost, which is quite high. But, along the way, there is so much behind it that the product is really invaluable."

"The pricing was good. Compared to the others, it was very good."

"I would like more competitive pricing."

"The price is a little steep. A lot of people, like our customers, use a different machine because of the price. The price has to come down a bit so we can do other tests without paying the equipment's high costs."

"It's a bit expensive. However, you get the entire package, not just the box. It's a box which supports older releases."

More National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"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."
