1 LXI (R&S AFQ100B only)
Refers to "Configuring the R&S AFQ for Network Operation" in the Operating Manual.
1.1 LXI Configuration
LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is an instrumentation plattform for measuring
instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technology. LXI is
intended to be the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the advantages of Ether-
net with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB.
Like GPIB, LXI determines and standardizes the way the instrument behaves in a LAN.
The LXI implementation by the Rohde & Schwarz Signal Generators allows you to
change certain LAN settings, to reset the LAN connection as well as to easy identify
the instrument.
For information about the LXI standard refer to the LXI website at
dard.org. See also "News from Rohde & Schwarz, article 2006/II - 190".
The R&S AFQ complies with LXI and provides an integrated "LXI Status" dialog for LXI
status indication and reset of the LAN configuration (LAN Configuration Initialize, LCI).
To access the LXI Status dialog, press the SETUP key and select "Remote > LXI Sta-
tus".
For further information, see
Firmware update
After a firmware update, shut-down and re-start the instrument in order to enable the
full LXI functionality.
Default state of the network settings
According to the LXI standard, an LCI must set the following parameters to a default
state.
