The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow

The application space that this solution targets is 5G and high-speed systems. 5G is where we are developing some chips to test whether it prequalifies for a necessary requirement before we embed it into our box. Then, in high-speed systems, we're still figuring out how exactly we're going to test this out, but it should be also on prequalification. We are not using this product to support connected devices for IoT development nor are we planning to going forward. We are measuring millimeter wave signals. My colleague deals with the automation of the test systems. The user interface is okay.

"It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."

More National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes pros

"Maintenance is important with this type of product, and this product's battery life is very good."

"Using the user interface is pretty easy to use. Everybody can use it in engineering area."

Cons

"I would like to see more of a tasking user base and documentation inside the instrument itself, rather than having to go online for it."

"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."

"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."

"The software has room for improvement."

"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."

"It took a good year until I felt proficient using the product, as It is a complex program. Their newest version has a less steep learning curve, but back closer to 15 years ago, it was a lot less user-friendly."

"National Instruments needs to be focusing on its 5G RF applications. They are aware of this, and that's where most of their R&D is going."

"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."

More National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes cons

"The scopes should be more powerful for our tests. This is extremely important for our products. We need to reach the probing point in our products, and this is extremely hard for us sometimes."

"The customer relationship should be more advanced/developed. Documents on the website should be more accessible and easily understandable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the equipment has room for improvement. The pricing could improve."

"I would like more competitive pricing."

"It's a bit expensive. However, you get the entire package, not just the box. It's a box which supports older releases."

"I have saved almost 50 percent of my total budget for a project by using their products."

"The price is a little steep. A lot of people, like our customers, use a different machine because of the price. The price has to come down a bit so we can do other tests without paying the equipment's high costs."

"The pricing was good. Compared to the others, it was very good."

"It's reasonably priced for what we spend our money on in the lab. It's one of the lower-end purchases."

"They have an initial investment cost, which is quite high. But, along the way, there is so much behind it that the product is really invaluable."
