About LXI

LXI stands for LAN Extensions for Instrumentation and is a set of standards which define how test instruments communicate over an Ethernet connection. As the name implies, it is an extension to standard networking protocols aimed at allowing interoperability of test equipment from different manufacturers over standard computer networks. The standard is developed and maintained by the LXI Consortium.
