We have a VNA from R&S so you are wrong that nobody buys them, they sold at least one unit and our junior is using it right now. Otherwise we tend to have Lecroy equipment. I once got a presentation of a Keysight scope and was impressed by the UI polish, but since all our other equipment is Lecroy, we did not buy it. There is a great momentum in lab equipment due to vendor lock-in in accessories and probes. We have some Tektronixes but I always felt that Tek is a bit fake now: it tends to give you "good" and "pass" results, so you're happy, but is it the result correct really? I would not bet my life on Tek's compliance report.

Great call, thank you. Why is next Q guide so flat? Can’t imagine there is any seasonality.
