2.6 LXI Configuration
LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) 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 Ethernet with the
simplicity and familiarity of GPIB.
• Class C instruments are characterized by a common LAN implementation, including an
ICMP ping responder for diagnostics. The instruments can be configured via a web
browser; a LAN Configuration Initialize (LCI) mechanism resets the LAN configuration.
The LXI class C instruments shall also support automatic detection in a LAN via the VXI-11
discovery protocol and programming by means of IVI drivers.
• Class B adds IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and peer-to-peer communication
to the base class. IEEE 1588 allows all instruments on the same network to automatically
synchronize to the most accurate clock available and then provide time stamps or time-
based synchronization signals to all instruments with exceptional accuracy.
• Class A instruments are additionally equipped with the eight-channel hardware trigger bus
(LVDS interface) defined in the LXI standard.
Instruments of classes A and B can generate and receive software triggers via LAN messages
and communicate with each other without involving the controller.
The R&S FSQ complies with LXI class C. In addition to the general class C features described
above, it provides the following LXI-related functionality:
• Integrated LXI Configuration dialog for LXI activation and reset of the LAN configuration
(LAN Configuration Initialize, LCI).
For information about the LXI standard refer to the LXI website at http://www.lxistandard.org.
See also "News from Rohde & Schwarz, article 2006/II - 190".
The LXI functionality requires a Windows XP operating system that has
been upgraded to service pack 2. Please contact your Rohde &
Schwarz service representative if your R&S FSQ's operating system
needs an upgrade. To check the version of your operating system,
open the VOptions dialog box in the General Setup submenu.
After a firmware update, use the standby key to shut-down and re-start
the instrument in order to enable the full LXI functionality.
