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 user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector are co-located, which makes it easier to use because I can just probe it directly on the PCB."
"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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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."
"It's a very nice product. Whatever feature that I was looking for, it was within my budget."
"We have often needed technical support often, they were always ready to help us and have been very useful, and if you need help, there is always someone who will help you."
"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 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."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved. It's not quite stable. It restarts a lot."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"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 to see them improve the software. The new version can be improved; it's not quite stable and restarts a lot."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"It needs more flexible probing solutions, especially for the complex ICs."
"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 would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
"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 integration between different software and hardware panels could be improved. In the software, it's not as strong as the other solutions."
"While the user interface is good with respect to instrumentation, but with respect to documentation, I do not like it. Its documentation is slightly bad."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The pricing is costly."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"It's 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."
"They're not cheap."
"It's expensive, but the quality matters."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
