Should I buy a domestic Puyuan oscilloscope or an imported Tektronix oscilloscope?

Many novice engineers, company purchasers and some people who are new to oscilloscopes but don't know much about them will struggle with the question of whether to buy domestic or imported oscilloscopes? At present, domestic oscilloscopes are mainly represented by Puyuan oscilloscopes. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, domestic Puyuan oscilloscopes have become more and more popular among people for their excellent performance and high cost performance. Its status in China is self-evident. As for imported oscilloscopes, although there are brands such as Tektronix oscilloscopes, Agilent oscilloscopes, Ricoh oscilloscopes, and Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) oscilloscopes, they have the highest recognition among domestic engineers. After all, Tektronix oscilloscopes started in the 1940s. After more than half a century of development and precipitation, and having entered the domestic market earlier, its status in the country is also quite high. So many people are beginning to wonder whether to buy a domestic Puyuan oscilloscope or an imported Tektronix oscilloscope?

Regarding this issue, the editor of Antai Test believes: If you want to pursue cost-effectiveness with a limited budget and eliminate dependence and prejudice on imported and domestic brands, I suggest you choose a domestic Puyuan oscilloscope. Although domestic oscilloscopes started late, with the rapid development of science and technology in recent years, the technology has also been greatly improved, and there is great potential to catch up. In addition, domestic oscilloscopes with very high cost performance have much higher parameters than imported oscilloscopes at the same price. It can be said that the cost performance is very high. If we are used to imported oscilloscopes, it is because we are dependent on the oscilloscope brand, or we have relatively high requirements for the oscilloscope's operation feel and stability. For example, when Antai visited customers before the test, many customers said they were used to using Tektronix oscilloscopes, liked their stability, liked their user interface, etc., and had a soft spot for Tektronix oscilloscopes. For these people, we also recommend that you use imported oscilloscopes.

Therefore, Antai Test recommends that when purchasing an oscilloscope, you can decide whether to buy an imported oscilloscope or a domestic oscilloscope based on your actual situation. For example, the purchasing tendency is domestic oscilloscopes with high cost performance or imported oscilloscopes with good stability. Objectively speaking, whether it is a domestic oscilloscope or an imported oscilloscope, they are essentially the same. Moreover, with the rapid development of domestic oscilloscopes in recent years, technology has advanced rapidly. In some aspects, the performance has caught up with or even surpassed some imported oscilloscopes. For example, the Puyuan oscilloscope has a higher capture rate than many imported oscilloscopes. It can help us capture some abnormal signals that cannot be captured by imported oscilloscopes, allowing us to find problems in time. Therefore, don’t look at domestic oscilloscopes with old eyes.

Antai Test’s personal suggestion: If you have a limited budget, you might as well consider some domestic oscilloscopes, such as Puyuan oscilloscopes, which may give you some unexpected surprises.
