The technical support ecosystem is what really makes it good.

Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products. The customer support is very good. If you need an application to do any measurement, you can easily get a hold of people to help you with it. This is a whole ecosystem. The user interface is top-notch in the industry.

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 user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."

"The user interface is simple and straightforward, so I can easily measure frequency, time, and other complex measurements."

"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."

"The technical support is good, and it has very strong customer support. They sent an engineer to us who gave us some training and tutorials."

"I use the serial decoder for the serial interfaces, which helps me debug my product quickly."

"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."

"The user interface has never been better. They improved it a few years ago with a more modern oscilloscope interface and it's easier to use, even for more junior people in our lab."

"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes pros

"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."

"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."

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

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

"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."

"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."

"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 sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes pros

Cons

"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."

"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."

"We tried to connect multiple computers with a KVM switch but we could not do that using Keysight VNA. Keysight VNA comes with the PC inside it. We have other equipment as well, and we tried to combine it so that we had one monitor to control everything. With Keysight we could not do it. That's something of an inconvenience."

"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."

"Something I'd like to see is much better documentation and some good examples. That would be very helpful for a new user to get better at using the new test equipment."

"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."

"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."

"The technical support is okay, but sometimes they are on a different page than us. If it is something wrong with the scope, they are okay. However, if something technical goes wrong, like the calibration, it is hard to get the information that we need because it is hard to share everything and explain all the measurements in real-time."

More Keysight Oscilloscopes cons

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

"The ruggedness could be improved."

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

"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."

"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."

"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."

"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."

"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very expensive."

"Pricing can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."

"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."

"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."

"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."

"Our solution is upgradable. However, upgrading depends on how much money the company is willing to spend, because each upgrade will take a million dollars."

"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."

"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."

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

"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 is a great price for a great product."

"The pricing is very expensive."

"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."

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

"I would like to see a lower price."
