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

"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."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"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 very simple. Everyone can use it."
"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."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability; the type of instrument they make is pretty much the industry standard and trustworthy."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
 

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."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"I would like to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"There is room for improvement with some of the features of the scope. I would like them to make it a bit more simplistic... For example, if I want to look at what the total jitter is, they should make it simpler to find that, with different tabs."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"I would like be able to measure multi-lane simultaneously. Right now, the high-performance jitter solution measures one signal. I would like to capture many at the same time."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is very expensive, but with leading technology, nothing is cheap."
"The pricing is always high."
"The pricing is on the high side."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The price is affordable for us, but for smaller companies, probably not."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
