LXI Standard the Focus of New Book
CLACTON ON SEA, UK, September 18, 2007
Pickering Interfaces has published LXImate, the first edition of a book providing an easy-to-read description of the LXI Standard.
The LXI Standard is rapidly being accepted as the natural replacement for the GPIB standard. In the two years since publication, many new products have been introduced or upgraded by major test and measurement vendors to comply with the standard.
The free booklet provides sections on the discovery process, web-page usage, software principals, and trigger systems. Sections describe the general principles of the wired trigger bus that offers a low latency trigger exchange system and the IEEE1588 protocol that can give an LXI test system knowledge of time and generate time-based triggers. A description of the compliance process used by the LXI Consortium and examples of LXI-compliant products also are included.
All of the major portions of the specification are spelled out clearly.
When more detail is needed, the complete specifications are on the LXI Consortium’s website
The new publication is a companion to PXImate, currently in its 4th Edition, also published by Pickering Interfaces.
Copies of the new publication are free and can be ordered at www.pickeringtest.com/lximate
