VXI Technology has selected Agilent Technologies’ I/O libraries suite as the standard I/O platform for its LXI products. The I/O libraries suite is designed to simplify and accelerate the process of connecting test instruments. It automatically detects instruments connected to a PC, configures the interfaces, and verifies the connection in test systems that mix Ethernet/LAN, VXI instruments, GPIB, RS-232 and USB, as well as a variety of software environments from multiple vendors.

"By developing around Agilent's open I/O libraries, we are able to provide our customers with an industry-standard VISA layer, ensuring a forward-looking platform for application-software developments," said Jon Semancik, business development manager for VXI Technology. "Our LXI products and Agilent's I/O libraries also allow our customer base to develop complete test solutions in virtually any programming language."

“VXI Technology's selection of our I/O libraries for its LXI products validates our commitment to delivering tools that support multivendor open test environments," said Mark Pierpoint, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Technology and Services Organization. "The reality is that engineers need to connect test instruments using different software and hardware to create new test systems or add to existing ones. Agilent's I/O libraries suite is the fastest and easiest way to do this."
