What is LXI?

LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is an instrumentation standard based on Ethernet. It defines the communication protocols and hardware requirements for modular instrumentation, allowing instruments to communicate with each other and with computers over a standard network. It's commonly used in automated test systems, data acquisition, and remote control applications, providing advantages like high speed, standard connectivity, and distributed control.
