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."
"Because it can detect both frequency and time domains simultaneously, if I want to check I send a command to the device and I can look at the frequency output."
"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."
"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together."
"I like to use it and it does what I need it to do."
"The most valuable features are everything they do. We primarily use the O-scopes and they help us figure out what's going wrong with our scope out signals."
"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."
"Technical support is great."
"It has very fast response with deep memory."
 

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."
"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."
"We would like more features for the CAN bus decoding, such as importing DDC files, which allows us to take the raw data and convert it into engineering units."
"On the source side, their AWGs don't have enough bandwidth. They need to increase the bandwidth of their AWGs, meaning they have to have a faster sample rate."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
"Tektronix Oscilloscopes are really expensive for small businesses."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 could always be cheaper."
"We demoed the product before purchasing it."
"It is a great price for a great product."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"Tektronix Oscilloscopes are really expensive for small businesses. The low-end scopes don't really compare performance-wise to what the other companies provide, like RIGOL . Mostly that just has to do with the software options."
"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."
