LXI Class A
Class A compliant devices must include all of the requirements of Class B and Class
C in addition to a hardware trigger interface. This interface will provide the means
for deterministic hardware triggering and synchronization of LXI instruments, utilizing
a consistent hardware and programmatic interface. The TriggerBus interface also
provides a means to interface with other open standard platform architectures, such
as VXIbus, maximizing the user’s test and measurement investment dollars.

LXI Class B
Class B compliant devices must include all of the requirements of Class C, and also
employ IEEE 1588, a standard that defines a precision clock synchronization protocol
for networked measurement and control systems. This approach ensures extremely accurate
device synchronization utilizing only the Ethernet interface/wire.

LXI Class C
Class C compliance is the baseline level of certification and encompasses areas
such as basic network functionality,
device discovery, web browser interfacing, user interface, and physical attributes.
Class C does not allow for multiple LXI devices to trigger each other or make synchronous
measurements.
