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

"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"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. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."
"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."
"The user interface is good."
"B-scan is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"It takes 35 to 45 minutes to get acclimated to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."
 

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."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"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 product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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 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."
"I would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."
"If they could make the user interface even more intuitive that would help. If they could make it easier to read, to know where the buttons are, that's all I need."
"They need to add more memory to this machine."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
"The ruggedness could be improved."
"We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset."
"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The pricing is costly."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is not too high and not too low."
"Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product."
"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 cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."
"It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap."
"They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."
"It is a great price for a great product."
"The pricing is very expensive."
