| Do you or your organization use oscilloscopes to understand the waveform
behavior of your devices or systems? |
YES |
YES |
| Does your organization use oscilloscopes made by more than one
manufacturer? |
YES |
NO |
| Could you stand to get more work done in a day? |
YES |
NO |
| Does your organization have older scopes in the inventory you would like to
bring up to the state of the art line? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like an alternative to the narrow, expensive scope software that only
runs on one manufacturer's scopes? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like oscilloscope usefulness software that has new features added
every 6-10 weeks? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like a simple Subscription program that ensures you have access to
that stream of innovation? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like a single, integrated tool that can address 100% of your scope-based
analysis requirements? |
YES |
NO |
| Want an Rj/Dj solution that has been calibrated, validated, and which nulls out
instrument noise? |
YES |
NO |
| Want the same Rj/Dj solution to run on Tek, Agilent and LeCroy scopes so you
can finally have correlation? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like your scope software to run on every scope in your organization
regardless of who manufactured it? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like signal-integrity issues brought to your attention automatically
without your having to look for them? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you then want to be able to quickly access a database of causes,
effects, and possible solutions to that issue? |
YES |
NO |
| Do you do compliance tests for various serial data standards? |
YES |
YES |
| Would you like to have compliance tests for all of the major standards included
at no additional charge, and use them 9-12 months before the scope manufacturers typically release theirs? |
YES |
NO |
| How about minor standards too? |
YES |
NO |
| Do you already have a lab-automation plan, or do you intend to automate? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to be able to send one XML command to a scope and get back
the results of dozens or even 100's of measurements and limit comparisons, instead of figuring it all out yourself? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to be able to analyze your data at your desk or at home rather
than while you're sitting at the scope? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to be able to send waveforms to engineers at other locations
and have them be able to explore and analyze that data too? |
YES |
NO |
| When you complete your measurements, would you like to be able to produce
professional reports of the results, as well as save the measurement data in virtually any format you wish? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to be able to easily locate individual waveform anomalies or a
"worst offenders" not just in one acquisition, but across hundreds or thousands of acquisitions? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to be able to analyze the logic channels of your MSO along with
the analog channels? |
YES |
NO |
| Different days bring the need for different tools... would you like to have the
tools you need at hand immediately when the need arises? |
YES |
NO |
| Do you frequently perform the same series of measurements? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you buy a $6 hammer instead of a $400 rock if you needed to nail
something? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to accomplish in 1-2 minutes what now takes you 45-60
minutes? |
YES |
NO |

YES |
NO |
| Would it be useful if you could take software you already own with you when
you upgrade to your next scope? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to end your organization's reliance on narrow, expensive scope-manufacturer-specific
solutions that can add up to half, or more, of the cost of the scope? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like to save tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of your
next high-end scope? |
YES |
NO |
| Would you like free software with the purchase of your next high-end scope? |
YES |
