Because it does a smart software trigger in the PAM-4 GUI, it's very easy to hook up

We are using the full bandwidth of the product. 70 gigahertz bandwidth for real-time scope is important. To get the step response, we need that excess bandwidth. If I wanted to get a 33 gigahertz bandwidth with a good step function, I would need that excess bandwidth so I can apply appropriate vessel filters. They do have optical front-ends which are optional. We are taking advantage of that. In certain, very specific ways, it's field upgradable. I would imagine when they have the next product that it goes to a higher sample rate, and that'll be a whole new product.

We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. I would like them to add more post processing capabilities.

It meet our basic needs. Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities. If you have used oscilloscopes before, no matter the brand, it's probably easy to learn. The panel may be different, but it's easy to ramp up on the new model. This user interface is good. Most of the oscilloscopes that I have used have good user interfaces. The application space that we are using the solution to target is mostly high-speed signaling or memory interface. I would encourage people to use it and get some experience to see how they feel using it and how they like it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use."

"Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices."

"Tektronix is robust and reliable. It's a hammer-resistant machine, a fact which is most important on our manufacturing floor."

"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive."

"The Ipath and measurements are fantastic and simple to implement."

"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple 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."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes pros

"We are able to capture the transient domain accurately. There are some technical features where you can do FFT."

"It has a nice high-resolution screen. It is easy to set up the scope triggers, has a lot of scope trigger options for capturing waveforms, and seamlessly goes into the spectrum analysis mode."

"Checking how many errors were on the channel by using the protocol analyzer has helped me to improve my design on PCIe PETracers."

"The most valuable feature is the embedded protocol analysis."

"We heavily use it to validate the design assumption. In many cases, it was able to point out things that were not available to us in simulation."

Cons

"I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."

"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 would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."

"I would like to see some WiFi capabilities. I would like to upgrade equipment, and if I was in the U.S., I could do that with WiFi capabilities."

"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."

"There was a learning curve, which was a little tricky at times. Getting used to the GUI took time because we had to learn the different features."

"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."

"If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes cons

"They could always work on the software stability of the products, particularly now that everything has switched over to a Windows-based interface. It creates a lot of crashes and bugs, which typically is a problem among all instruments."

"Since we do a lot of post processing when we download our waveforms to our computers, we need more post processing capabilities."

"I would like more technical details on what each packet represents and more information on the flow."

"I would like them to be current with the latest standards. So, as soon as a new standard comes in, ensure that it gets rolled into the existing software."

"The interconnect methods to the device are a little limited right now. I'd like to see other ways of being able to connect to the device."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not too high and not too low."

"The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay."

"They're all pretty expensive. If everything costs that much, I suppose the pricing is fair."

"Tecktronix pricing tends to be pretty fair and reasonable with current market trends. They don't usually bump up the price too much."

"The pricing is okay. It was within our budget."

"It's available on the low-end scopes for free, but on the higher-end scopes, it is expensive. Therefore, it's a bit more difficult to make stuff work."

"In the 100 gigabit Ethernet and 400 gigabit Ethernet category, everything is in the multi-hundred thousand dollar range, so it was fair pricing because everything is expensive."

"They have academic pricing which is helpful."

More Tektronix Oscilloscopes pricing and cost advice

"The bandwidth is pretty expensive on these instruments, so we typically use it all."

"They're fairly competitive for pricing across the industry."

"I would like them to include a lot of the add-on options as part of the package. Typically, we start in at a price, and by the time we add up all the options that we need which are available, we are at double or triple the original price."
