LXI / VXI / IEEE-488 Standards Defined

April 29, 2009

LXI

LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is a standard developed by the LXI Consortium, it was officially released in September 2005 by Agilent Technologies and VXI Technology. LxI Instrument Examples; Rohde & Schwarz ZVA24, Rigol DS1064B, Agilent DSO5014A

VXI

The VXI bus architecture is an open standard platform for automated test based upon VMEbus. VXI stands for VME eXtensions for Instrumentation, defining additional bus lines for timing and triggering as well as mechanical requirements and standard protocols for configuration, message-based communication, multi-chassis extension, and other features. Some examples of VXI Test and Measurement Equipment: Agilent E6432A, Agilent E1301A, Agilent E1366A

IEEE-488

IEEE-488 is a short-range, digital communications bus specification that has been in use for over 30 years. Originally created for use with automated test equipment, the standard is still in wide use today. IEEE-488 is also known as HP-IB (Hewlett-Packard Instrument Bus) and GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus). IEEE-488 Equipmment Examples; Cal Instruments 2003RP, Instek PSH-10100A, Tektronix 2430
