Agilent LXI - Manuals

Enter LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI), an archit ecture for next-generation test systems based on proven, widely used standards such as Ethernet. Combined with the time-tested principles of providing just enough cooling, power, shielding and physical size t o provide superb mea-surements in...

Many of these systems are created with VXI- or PXI-based hardware and controlled with either an embedded PC or standalone PC connected through an interface card and cable. LXI solves four key prob-lems developers would typically face under these methods: • Interface: Rather than an MXI or GPIB inter...

6 7. Rack space An LXI-based functional test system could be assembled in a rack as small as 750 mm tall (Figure 5). This space efficiency is due in part to LXI-based devices such as an eight-slot switch/measure unit with a built-in DMM (second position in rack) and a 1U modular power system (lowest...
