Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good
Adapting to the new products is taking some time, but this is normal procedure. The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes. The user interface of the scopes could be simpler. Windows-based scopes could also be smaller.

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

"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use; everybody can use it in the engineering area."
"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."
"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features, and the scopes were extremely reliable."
"The user interface is good, not very complicated, and it is very intuitive."
"It has very fast response with deep memory."
"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."
"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."
"When we connect Tektronix through our test boxes, that is the internet of things, because I have reached the Internet through the box."
"When I was looking for a scope for that lab, that five subdivisions per division was important."
"B-scan is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."
"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"They need to add more memory to this machine."
"They need to add more memory to this machine because at this time the machine can support random simulation to the power of 15 but realistically, in requests from our customers, we need it to the power of 31."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
"They ended up having to replace the front panel which contains the circuitry on all of those scopes. That was a little disappointing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Isolated probes are good to have, as most of the scopes don't have it. It drives up the cost when you have to buy isolated probes."
"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."
"The pricing is not too high and not too low."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"Tecktronix pricing tends to be pretty fair and reasonable with current market trends. They don't usually bump up the price too much."
"In the 100 gigabit Ethernet and 400 gigabit Ethernet category, everything is in the multi-hundred thousand dollar range, so it was fair pricing because everything is expensive."
"It's available on the low-end scopes for free, but on the higher-end scopes, it is expensive. Therefore, it's a bit more difficult to make stuff work."
