Concilium Technologies has revealed that Agilent Technologies made an announcement in tandem with the LXI Consortium's news of the adoption of the LXI technical specification by member companies.
The announcement, made in Agilent's product line-up, represents one of the industry's broadest product offerings of instruments in the LXI framework. Thirty of Agilent's measurement products are designed to be compliant with LXI (LAN extensions for instrumentation).
"The LXI (LAN extensions for instrumentation) Consortium is disseminated in an Ethernet-based modular-instrumentation standard that uses a cabled bus and modules with internal power supplies instead of the card cages, backplanes, and shared power supplies," says Steve Alves, MD of Concilium Technologies.
Complete LXI certification requires review by the LXI Consortium. Agilent is in the process of final certification and upon completion will begin shipping all 30 products with full LXI compliance. These products are also part of Agilent Open, which ensures industry-standards-based open connectivity in hardware and software.
"Agilent is committed to taking a leadership role in delivering LXI-compliant products," says Pat Byrne, president, Agilent's electronic measurements group. "We firmly believe that the LXI standard has a significant part to play in reducing the cost of test and deploying a global test strategy for our customers."
The product offering includes: Agilent synthetic instruments N8211A 20/40 GHz Analogue Up Converter N8212A 20 GHz Vector Up Converter N8201A 26,5 GHz Down Converter N8221A 30 MS/s IF Digitizer N8241A 1,25 GHz AWG Agilent N6700B modular power systems Agilent N5700 DC power supplies (family of 24 models).
