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

"It supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme, and we use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation, and it's also quick and easy to use."
"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."
"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"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 features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface is very good, very graphical. It provides a lot of help in using and operating it."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"While it depends on the field, the learning curve is usually really quick."
 

Cons

"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 a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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 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."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Every component has a manufacturing tolerance. I hope Keysight software can help with the tolerance loss in manufacturing variance, which can be ten percent or five percent. In the real world, we cannot fire a really perfect test with very smooth impedance. I would like to see Keysight provide a solution to solve the issue of loss of manufacturing variance."
"I would like to see the possibility of interacting with the software, new features for software post-processing. For example, once you're done measuring, it would be nice to be able to generate some data starting from the measurement data."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"Everybody is looking for more automation support, so that if they can incorporate more protocols. It makes it easier."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"The first version of the product is always expensive, then once there is competition, it will be cheaper."
"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."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is always high."
"While I don't have transparency on the pricing, it works within my budget."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
