Find out what your peers are saying about Siglent, Tektronix, Keysight Technologies and others in Oscilloscopes."It makes programming simpler."
"It took us less than a week to get integrated into the solution, which is very fast."
"We haven't need technical support yet because all documentation is well done and there."
"Most of the features are on the screen itself. The naming convention makes it very easy to understand what is needed."
"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"The learning curve was really fast, which was also the reason for saving a lot on the budget."
"The user interface is very good, easy to understand, and easy to operate."
"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."
"It is a more efficient, easier way to do measurements."
"The characterization of RF channels was helpful... The user interface was very simple to operate and there were a lot of tutorials."
"The product is quite reliable and straightforward to use. Typically, there are no households that we have to set up."
"Most of the features offered are free, like serial data analyzers or jitter measurements."
"I have been able to do quality measurements that I have been unable to achieve with the equipment from some other vendors."
"The instrument has a wide bandwidth. You can sweep across a wide range of frequencies."
"The most valuable features are its wide bandwidth and 8 ports."
"It is easy to connect with, accurate, reliable, and hardly fails."
"I would like to have more RF. They're going that way, but still there is some work that they have to do."
"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 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."
"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."
"There is a learning curve. It takes one to two months to get acclimated to the tool."
"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 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."
"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."
"The size of the unit is too big, too heavy. It has to be made more portable and smaller."
"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."
"There was a learning curve. Their use interface and the way that their products work are not intuitive to somebody who switches from other vendors."
"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."
"They could use an RDA interface."
"It would be good if they would try to automate most things because it has more pressing buttons and repetitive work. If there were automation scripts that they could provide, that would improve things."
