The LXI Consortium (Niwot, CO) (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) approved and released Revision 1.3 of the LXI Standard, which allows a manufacturer of Class C compliant instruments to customize their offerings by adding selected features from Class B or Class A categories. Users benefit from an expanding selection of products with advanced features without having to pay for features they don't need.

The LXI Standard defines three classes of instruments with various degrees of functionality. LXI Class C provides the key features of an LXI compliant instrument, which are LAN and web server functionality. Class B and Class A provide progressively expanded functionality, specifically in timing and triggering.

The Class B and Class A features that can now be included in Class C devices.

In addition, instruments from DowKey Microwave, LeCroy, Thurlby Thandar Instruments and Rohde & Schwarz were tested and certified as LXI compliant.

Additional information about LXI-compliant products as well as licensing, specifications, and Consortium membership is available at LXI Consortium.
