LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI): Revolutionizing Calibration

Test and measurement instruments are used in a wide array of applications including satellites, rocket engines, automotive engines, and medical devices. Because of the high cost of failure, it is critical that test engineers use their measurement devices to produce accurate, consistent test results with high data integrity. Measurement integrity is achieved through instrument calibration and traceable verification standards. LXI Class A instruments simplify instrument calibration for test engineers, which reduces the cost of calibration and test system downtime. A practical application of an LXI Class A-compliant product, the EX1048A, explains the benefits of calibration and measurement integrity.
