Transitioning from GPIB to LXI Instruments

Application Notes

Introduction

More than 30 years after its creation, GPIB remains popular due to its ease-of-use and robustness. Today, LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) offers capabilities that meet or beat GPIB on both counts. From browser-based configuration and troubleshooting to Ethernet’s own 30-year history, LXI enables fast, efficient and cost-effective creation and reconfiguration of test systems. By specifying the interaction of proven, widely used standards, LXI helps you conquer the challenges of product testing without overloading your budget or your team.

Transitioning from GPIB to LXI is the third in a series of application notes that will help you manage the shift to LXI from GPIB, PXI or VXI. This note compares GPIB and LXI, sketches hybrid system architectures, outlines a step-by-step approach to system set-up, and describes how to easily modify existing system software to work with LXI devices.
