The LXI Consortium has grown to more than 20 members now, having been established by Agilent Technologies and VXI Technology in 2004.
According to Adlink CTO Jeff Munch: "We are excited to join the consortium and look forward to contributing to the organisation's development of a standard for LAN-based test and measurement".
"We have been positioning our company as a technology leader since its existence".
He added: "LAN-based instruments are in our roadmap now and will soon be in the hands of customers".
"LXI's compact size and operation characteristics should make it well suited to meet the needs of aerospace defense engineers developing radar, electronic warfare, satellite, and military communications systems".
LXI combines the PC-standard I/O connectivity of rack-and-stack instruments with the modularity of card-cage-based systems.
With LXI, engineers are able to leverage the software and measurement accuracy they currently have from their GPIB instruments to the test system.
The LXI standard provides a basis for long life-cycle instrumentation implementations that are not limited by bandwidth, software, or computer-dependent architectures.
The LXI Consortium claims that LXI's flexible architecture, high-speed I/O, and reliable measurements meet the needs engineers developing electronics for the aerospace/defense, automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics markets.
