We performed a comparison between National Instruments (NI) Oscilloscopes and Tektronix Oscilloscopes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Oscilloscopes solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"The user interface is absolutely great. It creates an easy working environment because it has well-integrated hardware and software. So, it is easy to use."
"The user interface is very good. Their boards are reliable. We buy boards from them, they are reliable, and we don't have problems with them."
"It makes programming simpler."
"The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow."
"It helps us to save on our investment with a lot of the stuff that we buy, as we can find defects quickly."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed."
"B-scan is its most valuable feature."
"The user interface is excellent. The GUI is so self-explanatory and there are the same knobs everywhere; the design is a standard design line."
"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."
"The most valuable features are everything they do. We primarily use the O-scopes and they help us figure out what's going wrong with our scope out signals."
"It has a good user interface. It's easy to use, easy to read. It's intuitive."
"It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"I haven't seen anything similar where it has a spectrum analyzer and regular scope together."
"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"The software has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The ruggedness could be improved."
"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."
"I am not utilizing the full bandwidth of this product."
"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."
"We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset."
"I would like if they could have more customer support engagement."
"There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
