We rely on the data and we make our design calls, risk-assessment, all based on the measurements that we take with the Keysight equipment.

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.

There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model.

The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten.

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.

I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe, built into the array. PERT to be built-in for more specific product call. These would make our lives much easier.

If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better.

Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope.

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.

Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better.

The user interface can be buggy at times. But I'm an engineer, I figure out how to get around them pretty easily so that's not that much of a concern.
