What: Two new resources are available to help engineers keep pace with the
latest in LXI technology for switching systems, ATE systems, and
other test instruments:
-- Article: LXI vs. PXI in Switching Applications. A new article
by David Owen of Pickering Interfaces was published in the
January 2010 issue of Evaluation Engineering magazine. The
article has case histories and gives selection advice on the
two most common platforms for switching systems, PCI
eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI) and LAN eXtensions for
Instrumentation (LXI). Larger switching systems, particularly
matrices, are more easily accommodated by the unrestricted
size of an LXI instrument than by one or more PXI or
VXI modules. Especially for a matrix that is intended to
operate as a single unit, splitting the hardware among several
chassis makes programming awkward, and the additional external
electrical connections adversely affect high-frequency
performance.
-- Webcast: How to Create Advanced ATE Systems with LXI - Building
on the Industry's Best Practices. This recently archived
webcast is moderated by Rick Nelson, Editor in Chief, Test &
Measurement World and EDN. What are the advantages of putting
test systems online? What is the difference between LAN
(Local Area Network) and LXI (LAN eXtensions for
Instrumentation) instruments? How does LXI work with my
existing equipment? This webcast answers these questions with
help from a distinguished panel from the LXI Consortium.
