Using LAN 
Using the front panel to configure an LXI Trigger on the MXG 
The MXG is capable of reacting to an incoming LXI LAN Event by treating it as a trigger. The 
following procedure describes how to set up the MXG sweep trigger to use an LXI event through the 
front panel soft keys.
1. Select the LXI LAN trigger as the source for sweep triggers.
Press  Sweep > More > Sweep Trigger > More > LXI LAN
2. Select a Trigger LAN Event.
Press  Utility > More > LXI–B > Configure LXI Events > Configure LXI Trigger Events
3. Enable the Trigger LAN Event.
Press the Togg l e  E vent St a t e  softkey.
Using SCPI to configure an LXI Trigger on the MXG
The MXG is capable of reacting to an incoming LXI LAN Event by treating it as a trigger. The 
following procedure describes how to set up the MXG sweep trigger to use an LXI event through SCPI 
commands.
1. Reset the MXG
Send the following SCPI command:
*RST
2. Select the LXI LAN trigger as the source for sweep triggers.
Send the following SCPI command:
:TRIGger:SOURce LAN3
3. Enable a Trigger LAN Event.
Send the following SCPI command:
:TRIGger:LXI:LAN:ENABled "LAN0",1
Verifying an LXI Trigger using LXI Interactive
Peer to peer message transmission can be verified by running LXI Interactive from a PC on the same 
subnet as the MXG.
1. Open Interactive LXI. 
From a PC connected to the same subnet as the instrument, go to Start > All Programs > Keysight IO 
Libraries Suite > Utilities > Interactive LXI.
2. Choose LAN Event.
Select the desired LAN trigger from the Event ID dropdown menu.
3. Send LAN Event.
Press the Send button. This puts the trigger out on the line.
