中文摘要：

The researchers who study the local area network( LAN) eXtension for instrumentation( LXI) instrument are pursuing instrument’s high-precision synchronization. In the paper,three synchronization modes were discussed which were clock synchronization, trigger synchronization, and response synchronization. Synchronous process between LXI instruments was analyzed and each time factor affecting the synchronization accuracy was discussed. On the basis of the analysis,it can be found that delay trigger plays an important role in the network testing system’s synchronization. Delay trigger can produce an additional time interval to correct the difference of each LXI instrument’s response time. Then,a method to realize the delay trigger was introduced. Delay time can be adjustable according to the actual demand. Finally,synchronization accuracy of network testing system can reach nanoseconds.
