Measurement Computing Corp has joined the LXI Consortium.

Joining such companies as Agilent, VXI Technology, Keithley and Rohde and Schwarz at the Strategic Member level, Measurement Computing will be in an ideal position to help direct the organisation's development of a standard for LAN-based test and measurement.

According to Measurement Computing CEO, Ben Bailey, "LAN-based instruments are in our laboratories now, and will soon be in the hands of our customers".

"By joining together in the LXI Consortium to define standards for communication and data organisation between LAN-based instruments and computers, we are ensuring that every customer in this mixed-vendor world will be able to purchase, with confidence, products that work together and with all the popular software platforms".

"So this is what the LXI Consortium and standard is really about".

"It is not about technical breakthroughs or controlling the market, it is about promising our customers a trouble-free experience no matter who they purchase from".
