Talk:LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation

LXI Marketing

This article reads more like a marketing pitch than an encyclopedic article. Recommend that this article is cleaned up and sourced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.15.253 (talk) 18:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I have rewritten the sections that appeared marketingish and have added additional links.

All of the copy is mine, and none was lifted from other sources, though I have worked in the test and measurement field for some time and this may be reflected in some of the language as this is a small and tight knit community.

Much of this article is either wrong or off target

While many of the assertions in this article are generally about communication with measurement instruments, in which LXI participates, the details are either wrong or too vague to be meaningful.

Case in point: "The LXI standard defines the communication protocols for instrumentation and data acquisition systems using Ethernet."

In fact the LXI standard defines NONE of the communication protocols. Instead it specifies the suite of communication protocols (and certain other features) that an instrument must implement to be considered "LXI conformant", and which others it may implement as part of various extensions. All of these communication protocols are defined by other organizations.

Similarly, the Standardization section says "The LXI Standard has three major elements" and proceeds to list three elements that are decidedly at odds with the description of the LXI Core Features (https://www.lxistandard.org/About/LXI-Core-Features.aspx).

One approach to fixing this article would be to examine each assertion and find support for it on LXI's site or in LXI documents. Gwideman (talk) 06:52, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
