Configuring Lxi Triggers; Configuring An Lxi Trigger Using Scpi - Agilent Technologies X Series Programmer's Manual

Measurement Synchronization with LXI-B

Configuring LXI Triggers

Verifying LXI Output LAN Events
Peer to peer message transmission can be verified by running LXI
Interactive from a PC on the same subnet as the MXA.
Task
1. Open Interactive
LXI
2. Begin recording
LXI Events
3. Observe
incoming LXI peer
to peer messages.
Configuring LXI Triggers
The MXA and MXG are also both capable of reacting to incoming LXI
LAN Events. Both instruments may be triggered by the receipt of a
peer-to-peer message, while the MXA can also recall a specific
instrument state as the result of an incoming LAN Event.

Configuring an LXI Trigger Using SCPI

As of this product firmware release in June 2008, LXI Class B
NOTE
Compliance Tests, using the new IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time
Protocol (PTP), were not available. This product provides the features of
an LXI Class B instrument by adding LAN Triggering and Time
Synchronization to its LXI Class C compliance. References to LXI Class
B in the document and in the instrument menus and web pages do not
imply LXI Class B compliance. This product will apply for LXI Class B
Compliance when the LXI Consortium has approved its specification

Click the Start button in the LXI
Event Receive box.
Incoming peer to peer messages will
be displayed in the text box.
Notes
This operation should be
performed on a PC connected
to the same subnet as the
instrument.
If the setup used on the
instrument followed the
procedure in "Configuring
LXI Output of LAN Events
via SCPI" on page 88, two
LAN Events are expected per
sweep: the rising and falling
edges of the LAN Event
"LAN0".
