Rohde and Schwarz
supports LXI Consortium
Rohde and Schwarz has been a strategic member of the LXI Consortium since November 2004
At the latest Plug Fest of the LXI Consortium in February 2006, successful tests were performed on both the R and S FSL and FSQ spectrum analysers. Thanks to their identical design, all instruments of the R and S FSx family meet the class C specifications defined in the LXI standard. But Rohde and Schwarz not only makes the instruments.

Rohde and Schwarz has been incorporating LAN interfaces in its measuring instruments for a long time.
The expert in radiocommunications and T and M supports the open LXI standard because it simplifies the integration of modular test systems.
LXI-compatible instruments are especially suitable for use in the aerospace, defence and telecommunications sectors.
The LXI class C specification defines a uniform, interoperable LAN implementation.
As the LAN standard is downward compatible with previous versions, it protects existing investments.
Furthermore, systems distributed via LAN can be implemented with a virtually unlimited number of users.
Equipped with an integrated web server, LXI instruments can be easily configured via a uniform web browser interface.
They are programmed by means of standardised IVI drivers whose interoperability allows uniform driving of the instruments.
Measurement instruments can thus be integrated in test systems more easily and are easily exchangeable.
The precision timing protocol of the IEEE1588 standard ensures that LXI-validated instruments in accordance with class B also offer highly precise time synchronisation between the individual distributed modules.
In addition to class B and C functions, LXI instruments of class A come with an eight-channel hardware trigger interface, which allows instruments to be connected either in a bus or star configuration.
Rohde and Schwarz has been a strategic member of the LXI Consortium since November 2004 and is represented on the Consortium's Board of Directors alongside seven other companies.
Rohde and Schwarz has committed to fully support LXI for the forseeable future. Request free introductory details about products from Rohde and Schwarz....
