LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation are available on the Consortium’s website. The number of LXI-compliant instruments has grown dramatically, starting from a handful of products from just two vendors in December 2005. This expansion in instrument availability has encouraged migration to LXI from older instrument platforms. As of January 2017, the Consortium had certified over 3600 instruments as being compliant with the Standard. The latest information on compliant instruments is available on the LXI Consortium’s website. LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is a standard developed by the LXI Consortium, a consortium that maintains the LXI specification and promotes the LXI Standard.
Acronym one or more letters stand for acronyms themselves. The word "macronym" is a portmanteau of "macro-" and "acronym". Some examples of macronyms are: Some macronyms can be multiply nested: the second-order acronym points to another one further down a hierarchy. In an informal competition run by the magazine "New Scientist", a fully documented specimen was discovered that may be the most deeply nested of all: RARS is the "Regional ATOVS Retransmission Service"; ATOVS is "Advanced TOVS"; TOVS is "TIROS operational vertical sounder"; and TIROS is "Television infrared observational satellite". Fully expanded, "RARS" might thus become "Regional Advanced Television Infrared Observational
