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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The jitter function included into the system has helped me in terms of improving the capabilities of our product."
"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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"When it comes to grabbing precise technical data, having an ecosystem of logging it correctly and working with the diagnostics, they are probably the industry leaders in the field."
"It can go up to a very high frequency, up to 120 gigahertz. And the user interface is really good. It's really easy to navigate."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"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."
"It has the highest bandwidth and resolution on the market."
 

Cons

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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 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."
"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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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."
"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 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 am not really impressed with the GUI since it has not changed in almost 20 years (since I first began using the product). While the GUI part is okay, I can live with it."
"It does everything I need it to do, but it is really expensive and I think there are alternatives out there that I could choose that would be cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common."
"There is room for improvement in the upgradeability of the products. When we buy a platform, we would like that platform to survive two or three generations, because it is very expensive. If they could provide a more modular type of design, so if we want to upgrade one functionality then we could upgrade that module, rather than all the equipment, that would be helpful. That modularity is something we would like to see."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"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."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"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."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"The pricing is always high."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"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."
"They're not cheap."
