What is the LAN extension for Instrumentation ( LXI )?
LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation ( LXI) is a standard developed by the LXI Consortium, a consortium that maintains the LXI specification and promotes the LXI Standard. The LXI standard defines the communication protocols for instrumentation and data acquisition systems using Ethernet.
What do you need to know about the LXI standard?
What Is LXI? The LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) Consortium defines standard ways for Ethernet-based instruments to communicate, operate and function. The LXI standard is based on other standards including Ethernet, web interfaces, and IEEE 1588.
Can a LXI device coexist with an Ethernet device?
LXI devices can coexist with Ethernet devices that are not themselves LXI compliant. They can also be present in test systems which include products based on the GPIB, VXI, and PXI standards. The standard mandates that every LXI instrument must have an Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) driver.
Why did the LXI Consortium create the Ethernet standard?
When the test and measurement industry adopted Ethernet as an instrumentation bus, it leveraged the benefits of existing LAN technology. To ensure interoperability, the LXI Consortium created the LXI standard as a guide for instrument vendors.
Why is ni a member of the LXI Consortium?
NI actively participates in the LXI Consortium and works to ensure that NI software and hardware work well with test systems that include LXI. NI’s efforts focus on simplifying LXI configuration and programming with NI software and maintaining LXI compatibility in hybrid test systems. Why LAN-Based Instrument Control?
