IC Validation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees
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 supports the PAM-4 encoding scheme. We use that to do our PAM-4 receiver validation."
"It gives you the capability to increase the Tap levels and voltage strength more than what you have in your signal."
"The features are pretty much the same as an expensive competitor, but the price is better."
"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 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 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."
"I have recommended this product before because I think we received the best product for the money that we paid."
"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."
"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."
"It's accurate, fast, has high bandwidth, and the PLTS is pretty convenient."
"By using the Keysight network analyzer, we get pretty reliable results."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"Because they're such a big industry standard name, their products are standardized across many customers, which is why people own these products."
"Its 4 port has true differential with quite a few de-embedding features. It goes up to 40 GHz with high performance."
 

Cons

"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"The product's antennas and radar applications need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"I have found it to be very unreliable. It breaks down a lot."
"The user interface has a load of features that come with it, which is why it is an eight out of ten."
"I would like them to build in more high-speed functions, such as FEC or PCIe Gen5, built into the array."
"We are using this product to support connected devices for IoT development, but we need more automation."
"I would like to see better post-processing data utility tools like a de-embedding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its competitors."
"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."
"It is expensive, but I guess that is why it works."
"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."
"Pricing is always expensive. It would be better if they lowered the price."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"We are looking at $600,000 and it's obviously expensive, but compared to others, everybody is in the same ballpark."
"It would be good if it were a little bit cheaper, of course."
"It's very expensive because this type of equipment is not so common. For a company buying it, this is a big investment."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"If we rented the product, it would be more affordable than buying new."
"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."
