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
up screen of the firmware, it means that the system is not LXI-C
complaint.
Files Required for LXI with HDD revision CN70x
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.agilent.com/find/ena_support, and then execute it to install all the
