LXI Consortium’s Fourth PlugFest Shows
Growth in Compliant Products
SAN DIEGO, CA, March 6, 2006
The LXI Consortium held its fourth PlugFest event last month to help member
companies begin verifying compliance with the LXI specification. A variety of
products from Agilent Technologies, Keithley Instruments, Rohde & Schwarz, and
Symmetricom were tested in key areas of the specification including LAN
functionality, Web interface, programming API, and hardware triggering. The
event, which took place Feb. 14-16 in Irvine, CA, was attended by 46 members of
the LXI Consortium.
“With a solid spec in place, this fourth PlugFest showed our collective shift in
focus toward helping members implement the spec and verify their products for
compliance,” said Bob Rennard, LXI Consortium president. “It’s exciting to see
the increasing depth and breadth of test equipment that is on track for LXI
certification.”
According to Jon Semancik, vice president and treasurer of the LXI Consortium,
“A major highlight of the event was the development of an LXI-based multivendor
demonstration. The cooperation and collaboration of our worldwide member
companies is rapidly advancing the creation and delivery of LXI.”
