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

"We can extract signal loss, skew, DKDF... and the tool is very flexible."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"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."
"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."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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."
"The user interface is easy, simple, and practical."
"The most valuable feature is its frequency range."
"But I would highly recommend this product."
"Keysight is number one and top of the line."
"I would definitely recommend trying this product."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"The user interface is very simple. Everyone can use it."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like a better GUI with navigation. This should make it easier to compare to competitors, like Textronix or Keysight."
"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 product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"I would like the frequency range to be extended because of the speed."
"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."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"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."
"There is a learning curve depends on the client that I am working with. E.g., if I'm working with a client, and they have a test and measurement equipment company, when I go to another company, the new company may not be using the same model."
"There is a learning curve, depends on the client equipment that I am working with."
"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. It was not organized properly. The way it's organized is very difficult to understand, so it takes lot of time to search for one thing in particular."
"The room for improvement is the cost. It's always too expensive."
"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."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 pricing is costly."
"I think everyone gets a demo before purchasing."
"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The pricing is always high."
"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."
"Pricing always is very expensive. There's no free lunch."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"They're not cheap."
