LXI Standard

Bio

In 2004, Agilent Technologies (formerly Hewlett-Packard) and VXI Technology, Inc. introduced LXI (LAN-based eXtensions for Instrumentation); combining the best of GPIB instruments and VXI modules. With LXI you get the reduced size of VXI, high throughput of LAN, and the high performance measurements of GPIB. No cardcage, no slot 0 and no expensive PC to instrument communications link are required in LXI. LXI is the next generation of test systems combining state-of-the-art measurements in a small package at a cost-effective price. LXI modules are full-rack width, 1U tall or half-rack width, 1U or 2U tall. Signals enter and exit the module from its front panel while LAN (IEEE 802.3), power, and trigger cables are found on the back of the module. All modules are designed to be easily mounted in a standard 19” rack or stacked on the bench.
