The Pulse Pattern Generator and Error Detector are co-located, making it easier to use. However, I would like a better GUI.
Take a look and do some demos. It will help you decide whether to go with this equipment or not. It took us about a week to become acclimated to the solution. We are not using this product to support connected devices, e.g., IoT development, nor are we planning to going forward.

The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth
It is a general purpose scope with 4-channel 300 MHz.  The application space that this solution targets is the embedded system of my products. Typically, the signals that we are measuring are digital, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), wireless, and Zigbee The most valuable feature would be the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"The information that I can get with the VNA is useful for me to select materials, like copper, and all the information that it can provide is really useful, due to the processing of the data."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
"There is not really a learning curve."
 

Cons

"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The user interface is somewhat difficult when it comes to updates, so this is something that they need to improve. I would like a better GUI with navigation."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"Right now, it's a minimal tool. They could make it more dynamic by adding dynamic features, which could help us with doing effective analysis."
"Sometimes, the forms keep changing because of new product technology. If they could reduce the amount of change in the form, this would be good."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
"The memory needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive equipment and cannot be upgraded after five years. If you buy equipment today, in five years, it won't be upgradeable. You have to upgrade it within the first five years that you buy it."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is costly."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
