We performed a comparison between Rohde & Schwarz 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."The noise floor for reference clocks is pretty low, so this instrument is able to measure it where others cannot."
"Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements."
"The ability to have both the time domain and frequency domain, where the frequency domain is a very broad spectral plot, is extremely valuable."
"It has a very low noise floor."
"It is a more efficient, easier way to do measurements."
"The product is quite reliable and straightforward to use. Typically, there are no households that we have to set up."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"The user interface is pretty good. Right now, it is more than what we expected. It's easy and fast to use."
"I trust Tektronix for its accuracy. The probes of solution fit my application. E.g., the speed of probes, the way that it is using probes with designs, and the probes' size."
"It takes 35 to 45 minutes to get acclimated to the solution."
"Being able to monitor data from a CAN bus while the vehicle is running will cut down a lot of the feedback for the design mode."
"The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features."
"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."
"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."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see report generation. It would make it a lot easier to refer back to and, when doing final testing, seeing what went on during the pre-test would help."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to find menus on the user interface."
"The depth the the user GUI could be improved. It is a bit deep for new users. During the first two weeks we spent a lot of time finding the tabs."
"The user interface could be improved, e.g., the documentation on the menus. I have to open a separate document to figure out the functionality sometimes."
"The Rohde & Schwarz user interface is very oriented towards drop and drag functions on the screen. Some of those are just not obvious how to use. You have to have somebody get you over the hump."
"I'm against the Windows-based tools. Now everybody is running scopes, VNAs, and all their tools based on Windows. I don't want to see that in the future."
"They could use an RDA interface."
"The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller."
"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."
"They need to add more memory to this machine."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
"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."
"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 would like to see more integration into machine learning because that's what we try to apply it to."
"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
