LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is a standard developed by the LXI Consortium, an industry consortium that maintains the LXI specification, promotes the LXI Standard, and ensures interoperability. The LXI standard defines the communications protocols for instrumentation and data acquisition systems using Ethernet. Ethernet is an accessible and versatile interface that must be implemented against a standard for instrumentation to communicate effectively.
The LXI Consortium provides the structure that ensures instrumentation developed by various vendors works effectively as long as the instruments are compliant. The LXI Consortium ensures that the LXI standard complements Test and Measurement systems, such as existing GPIB and PXI systems.

Famous quotes containing the word extensions:
“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
