I asked about this with people at SW and 2 said "oh no it wont work with vista." I say but it listed vista a month ago and they reply back that v12 wont work.
I ask has the software changed in the last month or so, like an update or something, they say no there hasnt been an update, lol. I have vista OS on a computer I want to use for this backup cutter with the intentions up buying a new computer after the first of the year that I assume will be loaded with OS10.
So my question is, DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR A FACT that the LXI expert software, will or will not work on windows vista OS?Keysight Technologies conceived of LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI) in 2005 as a way to enable test and measurement interfaces using web servers in conjunction with Ethernet. LXI is used extensively in connecting computers and electronic test equipment, particularly oscilloscopes. Local Area Network (LAN)-enabled instruments can connect to a computer, using as a medium the user-friendly Ethernet protocol. This has been done for years, but the LXI innovation established a standardized behavior for any instrument when connecting over a LAN. It is compatible with multiple protocols and web servers may be embedded in the individual instruments. Numerous types of instrumentation can employ LXI to connect to devices – everything from power supplies to solar array simulators. Prominent among these instruments are oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Prior to the development of LXI, the General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) was the usual interface. After LXI emerged in 2005, this faster, more efficient and less costly alternative became the tool of choice for computer-to-instrument connectivity. Currently, LXI instruments are available with Ethernet speeds of 100 Mb/sec and 1 Gb/sec. These limits will be exceeded in the near future. These devices connect in a uniform manner to any LAN, and the end products have in common:īecause of backward compatibility, existing systems will never become obsolete.Ĭurrently, all LXI enabled devices adhere to what is known as the LXI core. Open industry standards – LXI includes TCP/IP, Ethernet, Ipv4/Ipv6, web browsers and IVI drivers.High-speed Ethernet I/O, which provides backward compatibility and universal connectivity.Today’s computers invariably include Ethernet ports, and networking hardware is readily available. The LXI standard mandates that instruments support W3C-compliant browsers. Taking advantage of the web interface, the user can configure and operate instruments from an embedded web server GUI. Data can be collected and analyzed without additional programming.
Instruments, confined to the LAN, can be operated remotely within the LAN or, connected to the Internet, they may be operated remotely throughout the world.
