Given your budget needs, what is your best option: purchasing or renting test and measurement equipment? The test equipment scenario constantly evolves, which is positive as it keeps pace with technological advancements. When considering whether to rent or there are certain factors to consider, including cost & flexibility. 

Some points that one should consider before investing in any equipment that can be pretty useful to outline your specific requirements, such as frequency of use, budget constraints, duration of use, and any other industry-related features:  

• Maintenance: Maintenance costs are the expenses required for the upkeep and repair of equipment, like labor costs, replacement parts, and things necessary to keep the assets in good working condition. So one should consider how much costs for maintenance are required on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis?”
• Cost: These costs are basically one-time costs that are required at the start of a project and are not recurring. By determining the initial upfront costs, you can establish a budget you are willing to spend.
• Depreciation: Depreciation in test equipment means the reduction in the value of equipment because of wear and tear, decay, and other factors that affect its capability to function and produce revenue over time. If you wish to sell the equipment later on, examine the depreciation rate over time and consider it in case of loss.
• Storage: Proper storage can help you make sure that test equipment is in compliant, accurate, and good condition and can deliver reliable results, and it can also maximize its lifespan.
• Obsolescence: Obsolescence refers to the gradual decrease in the use or relevance of any piece of equipment due to changes in industry standards or technological advances. So do consider the requirement of upgrades or updates of any equipment.
