IC Validation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
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.

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

"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"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."
"If your intent is to experiment with your signal to see if some boosting helps or your silicon doesn't have a lot of Tap features, then this is a good product to start with."
"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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"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."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"It takes 35 to 45 minutes to get acclimated to the solution."
"They provide a great partnership with us."
"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."
"B-scan is its most valuable feature."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The user interface is a bit complicated because they have so many tabs. If they could simplify it, this would be helpful and appreciated."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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 the frequency range to be extended because of the speed. Electronics are moving forward to higher speeds, so it's better to have higher frequencies."
"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."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
"I would like to see a lower price."
"There was a learning curve, which was a little tricky at times. Getting used to the GUI took time because we had to learn the different features."
"The ruggedness could be improved."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
"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 would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The pricing is costly."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"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 costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive."
