PXI and LXI--competitors or complements?
August 15, 2006
I just returned from the NIWeek tradeshow, sponsored by National Instruments, where the focus was on PXI--particularly PXI Express--and where NI officials were decidedly unenthusiastic about LXI. Asked about LXI by several editors in several venues, founder Dr. James Truchard and others provided responses that could be summed up this way: Ethernet, good; Ethernet extensions for instrumentation, not necessary.
Of course, not all firms invested in PXI are shunning LXI. A look through the Test & Measurement World archives shows Aeroflex and Pickering Interfaces among those supporting both standards. You can read how Pickering looks for synergy between PXI and LXI here, and you can review some of the company's PXI and LXI products here and here. In addition, you can read how Aeroflex's product manager for PXI views LXI as an alternative to PXI and why Aeroflex's CTO supports both PXI and LXI.--Rick Nelson
