Check out the latest Q5 interview, with Hans Peter Kuhnert, EMEA v-p of sales at Tektronix, the electronic test and measurement specialist. He reveals his thoughts on the proposed acquisition by Danaher, real-time oscilloscopes and the biggest challenge facing the test instrument industry in 2008.
The five short sharp questions this week are:
* Will your customers see a change in style or approach from Tektronix as a result of its proposed acquisition by Danaher?
* Is the test market entering a period of change with further business consolidation and competition from non-traditional suppliers, in particular software vendors?
* What is the biggest challenge facing the test instrument industry in 2008?
* C-based test systems are becoming more popular amongst users. Does this mean that the days of the traditional benchtop instrument are numbered?
* Will we see an oscilloscope with a real-time bandwidth of 50GHz within the next 5 years?
