Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth. | B-scan is its most valuable feature. We have multiple systems for manufacturing tests, and it's critical for our support. The support increases our productivity. It is easy to handle, so everyone likes to use it. Time domain measurement is very accurate compared to other devices. This solution provides high confidence in the data being presented in the measurement to inform a design decision going forward. The user interface is good, not very complicated. It is very intuitive. The most valuable features are its ease of use, user interface, and PAM-4. The user interface is good and easy to use. The sensitivity of the trigger and the reliability are the most valuable features. |
Cons | |
The memory needs improvement. I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes. | We are looking for an Intel platform with the newest chipset. I use microservices, but you cannot really probe it, since the technology is not really there. If you are dealing with time domain measurement, I strongly recommend using a vendor other than this company. There are other devices out there which are more capable, offering more features, with as good quality tech support. I want the system to have a wider bandwidth because high-speed continues to move faster, so there is more bandwidth to cover. 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. It needs one button and every time you push it, you get whatever you need. I wish we could turn off the automatic measurement feature of the oscilloscope, for teaching purposes. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz. The pricing was good. | The pricing is okay. It was within our budget. It costs a quarter of a million. This technology is not cheap. We demoed the product before purchasing it. Tecktronix pricing tends to be pretty fair and reasonable with current market trends. They don't usually bump up the price too much. The cost has room for improvement. Though compared to other companies, it's okay. 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. Pricing could be lower. I would want to buy it for an extremely, low price, but Tektronix is a high-end product. |
