1.2 kW DC power supply offers LXI alternative to GPIB

LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the advantages of Ethernet with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB. The LXI Standard has already been adopted by many of the leading test & measurement companies as the natural successor to GPIB, and others are currently in the process of adopting it.

Designed to conform with LXI 1.2, the LAN interface of the QPX1200L includes a built-in web server which provides information, configuration and control via a web browser. LXI based systems require no dedicated controller and can be wired using low-cost cables, resulting in significant savings for large test systems.

Other remote control interfaces fitted as standard are RS-232 for legacy applications, USB for simple PC connection, and voltage control analogue. For those preferring to stay with GPIB, the QPX1200L is available with a GPIB interface in addition to all the others.
