LXI Plugfest in Nashville

Anfang Oktober traf sich das LXI-Konsortium zu einem persönlichen Treffen in Nashville, Tennessee. Hier wurden weitere Fortschritte bei der LXI Security Extended Function erzielt, indem ermittelt wurde, welche Abschnitte des aktuellen LXI-Standards 1.5 im Hinblick auf die Sicherheit angepasst werden mussten.

TSEP at the SENSOR+TEST 2019

On Tuesday, 25 June, SENSOR+TEST 2019 – the leading international trade fair for sensor, measuring and testing technology – will once again open its doors in Nürnberg under the motto “Welcome to the Innovation Dialogue!”.

Apollo: Use of data glasses in measurement technology

The need to have information always and everywhere available has increased in recent years. Especially in industry there are various scenarios in which the direct provision of information such as measured variables, circuit diagrams or documents seems to make sense. It is particularly interesting if this information can be displayed directly in the user’s field of vision. With the help of AR technology (Augmented Reality), such concepts can be realized.

Problems and solutions for IEEE 1588 implementations

The time synchronization over 1588 has been established as an IEEE standard since 2008 and is already used in various areas. Until now, the use of this standard has always been associated with exotic hardware, i.e. the implementation of network adapters in various FPGAs or embedded controllers. With the introduction of the Intel network chip families Intel I21x and Intel I35x, this standard is now available for the consumer market. This lays the foundation for new projects based on consumer hardware.

Examine LXI functions for measuring devices

Using a test solution consisting of hardware and software, the LXI functions on measuring instruments can be investigated and verified. A connection to the network helps to automate the test.
