| Source: LXI Consortium
DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 10, 2007 -- The LXI
Consortium announced plans for a General Meeting and Interoperability
Testing Session to be held January 30 - February 1, 2007, in Austin, Texas.
LXI member company C&H Technologies Inc. will host the meetings at the
Marriott Courtyard Austin Airport.
The event will feature a one-day PlugFest on January 30 that will provide
member companies the opportunity to test prototype LXI devices for
compliance with the LXI Specification and for interoperability between
prototype devices. The General Meeting, open to both members and
non-members, will be held on the afternoon of January 31. It will feature a
session during which PlugFest results will be summarized, as well as
general consortium business and technical sessions. Tutorials and a
presentation by a Systems Integrator are planned for February 1. In
addition, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. will make a presentation on the
IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). For more information and to

Introduced in 2005, the LXI Standard has been rapidly adopted by 48
companies, representing a who's who of the test and measurement industry.
They recognize LXI as the natural successor to GPIB, and that it was time
for instruments to go beyond GPIB to make it easier for test system
designers and integrators to create faster, more efficient systems. To
date, over 170 products have been certified as being compliant with the LXI
Specification.
About LXI and the LXI Consortium
LXI is the LAN-based successor to GPIB. The LXI standard goes beyond GPIB
to provide additional capabilities that reduce the time it takes to set up,
configure and debug test systems. LXI also helps integrators leverage the
time and effort already invested in system software and architecture. The
standard is managed by the LXI Consortium, a not-for-profit corporation
comprised of leading test and measurement companies. The group's goals are
to develop, support and promote the LXI standard. LXI's flexible packaging,
high-speed I/O, and prolific use of LAN address a broad range of
commercial, industrial, aerospace and military applications.
