Understanding LXI: 5-Part Webcast Series
PrintOverview
With emerging instrument control standards based on communication buses like USB and LAN, Ethernet/LXI, developers are faced with the question of how to integrate these instruments into their system. Given by seasoned experts and association members, this webcast series is an in-depth look into LXI and breaks down the topic into five technical discussions and demos.
Table of Contents
Part 1: Understanding LXI: Introduction and Overview (15 minutes)
Learn about the beginnings of the mainstream instrument control buses and get the latest information on the emerging LXI standard with Alex McCarthy, Senior Product Marketing Manager and a LXI Consortium Director.
Part 2: Bus Performance Comparison (20 minutes)
Learn the four key factors that affect bus performance with Patrick Webb, Instrument Control Product Marketing Manager. Compare GPIB, PXI, LXI, and USB and watch how each of these factors contributes to the performance of your automated test system.
Part 3: Setup and Software (15 minutes)
Learn how to setup, discover, debug, and program multiple buses with Brian Powell, Software Principle Architect and 15 year LabVIEW veteran. He will lead you through using MAX and LVI with LXI and other buses and discuss trade offs with debugging tools and programming options available today.
Part 4: Timing and Synchronization (30 minutes)
Understand timing and synchronization options for multiple buses and the trade offs between timing and distance with Spencer Stock, PXI Product Marketing Manager and PXISA Director. This webcast explains and then compares the synchronization options for 1588 over Ethernet, PXI backplanes and chassis-to-chassis, and LXI Wired Trigger Bus.
Part 5: Size and Cost Comparison (20 minutes)
Understand the cost and size differences of traditional box instruments, faceless box instruments, and modular instruments with Richard McDonell, PXI Group Manager. These comparisons will help when you are either pressed for space or under tight budget constraints.
