Using the Front Panel to Configure LXI Events
The MXG can be configured to send output LAN events for the pre–defined LXI events through the
front panel softkeys.
1. Press Utility > More > LXI–B > Configure LXI Events > Configure LXI Output Events
2. From the Output Events menu:
Press Select Source. Choose the instrument status event to be used as a source for the output LAN
event.
3. Press Toggle Event State to enable the highlighted output LAN event.
Using SCPI to configure an LXI Output Events
More configuration options and the ability to configure custom events are available to the system integrator
through SCPI commands. The following procedure provides a minimum set of commands to configure an output
LAN event. Refer to the SCPI Command Reference.
1.
Reset the MXG:
Send the following SCPI command:
*RST
2.
Set the LXI Output LAN Event's source:
Send the following SCPI command:
:LXI:EVENt:LAN:SOURce "LAN0", "Sweeping"
3.
Enable the LXI Output Event:
Send the following SCPI command:
:LXI:EVENt:LAN:ENABled "LAN0", 1
Verifying LXI Output LAN Events using LXI Interactive
Peer to peer message transmission can be verified by running LXI Interactive from a PC on the same subnet as
the MXA.
1.
From a PC connected to the same subnet as the instrument, go to Start > All Programs > Keysight IO Libraries Suite
> Utilities > Interactive LXI.
2.
Click the Start button in the LXI Event Receive box.
3.
Incoming LAN Events will be displayed in the text box.
If the initial setup had been configured using the front panel as on
two LAN Events are expected per sweep: the rising and falling edges of the LAN Event "LAN0".
Configuring LXI Triggers
The MXA and MXG are capable of reacting to incoming LXI LAN Events. Both instruments may be
triggered by the receipt of a peer to peer message.
