The E5071C is LXI-C compliant from firmware revision A.08.00 onwards.
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.

The E5071C having LXI compliance will show a LXI logo at the start up screen of the firmware . If this logo does not appears at the start up screen of the firmware, it means that the system is not LXI-C complaint.
The HDD revision CN70x does not comes with installed Dot Net architecture which is a requirement for LXI. User having HDD revision CN70x need to install the required components for LXI on the E5071C, and then update the firmware to A.08.00 or later to use LXI-C functionality.
1. Update the E5071C with the latest Firmware revision if your firmware revision is A.07.0x.
2. LXI works only on Dot Net platform. To install dotnet framework and other software required for LXI, download the file ENALXISetup from www.keysight.com/find/ena_support, and then execute it to install all the required components for LXI on the E5071C.
