AMETEK Programmable Power adds LXI compliance to California Instruments AC/DC power sources

SAN DIEGO, USA: AMETEK Programmable Power, a leader in AC and DC programmable power test solutions, has added LXI compliance to most of its California Instruments AC/DC power sources. LXI is a widely adopted industry standard for LAN/Ethernet connectivity among various instrument manufacturers in order to create high-speed, high channel-count or remote measurement systems using standard Ethernet interfaces.

Herman van Eijkelenburg, director of Product Marketing for AMETEK Programmable Power, notes: "This upgrade to our California Instruments products allows our customers to easily connect, configure and control these power sources wherever they are located – benchtop, network, or in distributed or remote locations. In addition, they can be easily integrated with other LXI instruments to create multifunction automated test equipment (ATE) systems that are highly efficient and flexible. While other power source manufacturers may offer selected products with LXI capabilities, the California Instruments product line is one of the few to offer an LXI interface option on a wide variety of models."

AMETEK Programmable Power has the widest selection of LXI-compliant AC sources and DC power supplies available in the market. Future AC and DC power products from its California Instruments, Elgar and Sorensen brands will also incorporate LXI interfaces. AMETEK Programmable Power will continue to provide other interface options on California Instruments products that include USB, RS-232/RS-485 and GPIB IEEE 488.2.
