"Because their view is a graphical user interface (GUI), it's very easy to program the tool."
"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."
"The integrated lateral view makes it easier to develop your test systems and test software flow."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it."
"When I was looking for a scope for that lab, that five subdivisions per division was important."
"The most valuable feature is the automation component in setting up some of these measurements."
"Valuable features include that it's multi-channel... and has bandwidth filtering. The user interface is good."
"The Tektronix user interface is like an Apple iPhone, but for oscilloscopes. It is simple to use."
"It provides you the best way to view information without opening multiple applications, like a single solution."
"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."
"This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward."
"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."
"I would like to see them increase the productivity and auxiliary functions."
"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."
"There is a learning curve. It might take a year if you're not well-versed with it."
"I would like more speed and a reduction in size."
"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 are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support."
"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."
"I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes."
"It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need."
"I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there."
"I would like to see an app from this company for test fixtures."
"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 want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover."
