VTI Instruments co-founded the LXI™ Consortium in 2004 in response
to customer requests for a standard, simplified instrumentation platform ideally
suited for small to medium channel density and distributed test and data acquisition
applications. LXI embeds the convenience of LAN/Ethernet at its core and defines
three layers of class specifications that extend the capabilities into the realm
of high-performance instrumentation. VTI is committed to delivering products to
the highest specification class (Class A) to provide our customer base with the
benefits that come with the most comprehensive feature set that LXI offers.
Key Attributes that Set LXI Apart
- Speed, simplicity, worldwide reach, low implementation cost, and backward compatibility
of LAN.
- Quick, easy configuration through the intuitive web interface built into compliant
instruments.
- Simplified programming and greater software reuse through IVI drivers.
- A distributed backplane architecture through the implementation of a hardware trigger
bus (highly deterministic performance without the overhead of a chassis)
- The ability to create easily hybrid systems that include LXI, GPIB, and VXI through
the use of bridge devices such as VTI’s EX2500A LXI-VXI slot 0 interface.
- Enhanced system performance and event handling via LAN-based triggering modes.
- Synchronization of local and remote instruments through the IEEE-1588 precision
time protocol.
