We performed a comparison between National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes and Tektronix Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes."We haven't need technical support yet because all documentation is well done and there."
"I can automate a lot of testing very quickly. With just a push of a button, I can test hundreds of different scenarios without having to do all that manual testing myself."
"Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed."
"It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."
"It took us less than a week to get integrated into the solution, which is very fast."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"It saves me a lot of time. You can click a button and walk away, basically doing a week's worth of work in 20 minutes, it's a pretty good time saver."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."
"It has digital scopes with a high bandwidth and digitized signal. It can do whatever you want with the signal. Since its user-friendly software allows you to work with the signal, which is pretty cool."
"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together."
"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."
"It takes 35 to 45 minutes to get acclimated to the solution."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"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."
"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 might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do."
"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."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
"I know you can get the Bit Masks but it's generally really expensive to get the eye diagrams and Bit Masks with it. I wish they were included or cheaper."
"The power of the computer inside is weak. Sometimes I send a lot of data and I'll feel the lag... I would like to see them improve the processing power."
"On the source side, their AWGs don't have enough bandwidth. They need to increase the bandwidth of their AWGs, meaning they have to have a faster sample rate."
"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."
"I would like if they could have more customer support engagement."
"We would like more features for the CAN bus decoding, such as importing DDC files, which allows us to take the raw data and convert it into engineering units."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
