| Agilent Technologies Introduces LXI Unit in Switching and Control Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced seven new LXI Class C instruments that are the industry's first LXI Unit (as defined by the LXI Consortium) in switching and control in a 1U, half-rack instrument form factor. The Agilent L4400 Series of switching and system control instruments are small, industry-standard instruments that can be placed wherever the application requires. The unit's remote capabilities and graphical Web interface reduce setup and troubleshooting time for engineers building design verification and functional test systems in the electronics, automotive, aerospace/defense, communications, medical and computer industries. Agilent now offers a family of LXI instruments for switching and control that include the popular 34980A switch/measure unit and the new L4400 Series switching and control. This versatile family of LXI instruments enables engineers to easily fit their application and budget to their test needs. The L4400 provides an easy migration path from the 34980A and other existing LXI instruments without a big investment in a new platform. It is also part of Agilent Open, a program that ensures industry-standards-based open connectivity in hardware and software. The Agilent L4400 Series instruments are instruments that allow engineers to buy only what they need and easily add to it when their application changes. The Ethernet interface allows for simple connection to the PC or to a network for access across an engineering workgroup. The fully featured graphical Web interface goes beyond the LXI standard and provides full control of the instrument through a standard Web browser. For example, engineers can use the Ethernet connection and the unit's graphical Web interface to remotely access and control the instrument from anywhere on the network. This enables engineers to monitor a test setup; open, close and scan switches; view commands that have gone across the bus; and troubleshoot an application via a standard Web browser. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
