2.8 LXI Configuration
LXI ("LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation" is an instrumentation platform for measuring
instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technology. LXI is
intended to be the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the advantages of Ether-
net with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB.
Like GPIB, LXI determines and standardizes the way the instrument behaves in a LAN.
The LXI implementation by the Rohde&Schwarz signal generators allows you to
change certain LAN settings, to reset the LAN connection as well as to identify the
instrument easily.
For information about the LXI standard, refer to the LXI website at
. See also "News from Rohde & Schwarz, article 2006/II - 190".
The R&S
SMB provides an integrated "LXI Status" dialog for LXI status indication and
reset of the LAN configuration ("LAN Configuration Initialize", LCI). To access the LXI
status dialog, press the SETUP key and select "Remote > LXI Status".
