The LXI Protocol (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a communication standard designed for test and measurement equipment. It enables devices to connect and communicate over a local area network (LAN), allowing for easier integration and control of multiple instruments from different manufacturers. LXI enhances traditional GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) and VXI (VME eXtensions for Instrumentation) systems by providing a more flexible and scalable solution. It supports various protocols, including HTTP and TCP/IP, making it suitable for modern laboratory environments where remote access and automation are essential.
