Pros
"It saves me a lot of time. You can click a button and walk away, basically doing a week's worth of work in 20 minutes, it's a pretty good time saver.""The user interface is very good. Their boards are reliable. We buy boards from them, they are reliable, and we don't have problems with them.""I can automate a lot of testing very quickly. With just a push of a button, I can test hundreds of different scenarios without having to do all that manual testing myself.""Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed.""The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate.""It makes programming simpler.""The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow.""We haven't need technical support yet because all documentation is well done and there."

Cons
"I would like to see more of a tasking user base and documentation inside the instrument itself, rather than having to go online for it.""There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool.""I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do.""I would like more speed and a reduction in size.""I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions.""The software has room for improvement.""It took a good year until I felt proficient using the product, as It is a complex program. Their newest version has a less steep learning curve, but back closer to 15 years ago, it was a lot less user-friendly.""National Instruments needs to be focusing on its 5G RF applications. They are aware of this, and that's where most of their R&D is going."

More National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes Cons →

"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable.""The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."
