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

"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."

"It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool."

"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."

"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."

"Being able to monitor data from a CAN bus while the vehicle is running will cut down a lot of the feedback for the design mode."

"The user interface is good."

"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes pros

"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."

"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."

Cons

"I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product."

"They need to add more memory to this machine."

"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."

"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."

"There is room for improvement when it comes to the screen size. I don't really have a lot of complaints but screen size would be the biggest thing."

"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."

"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."

"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cost-effective... It might cost a lot of money, but if we need it we buy it."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

"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 costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."

"Tecktronix pricing tends to be pretty fair and reasonable with current market trends. They don't usually bump up the price too much."

"We demoed the product before purchasing it."

"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."

"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."

More Tektronix 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."
