The E4982A is LXI-C compliant.
LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is the LAN-based successor to GPIB and combines the advantages of Ethernet with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB. The key features of LXI are as follows:
The speed, simplicity, worldwide reach, low cost, ongoing enhancement and backward compatibility of LAN.
Quick, easy configuration through the intuitive web interface built into compliant instruments.
Simplified programming and greater software reuse through IVI drivers.
The ability to create hybrid systems that include LXI, GPIB, VXI, PXI, CANbus, etc.
Enhanced system performance and event handling via hardware and LAN-based triggering modes.
Synchronization of local and remote instruments through the IEEE 1588 precision time protocol.
