Abstract
The LHCb spectrometer is designed with special emphasis on the discovery potential of b and c-physics studies. The main characteristics of the setup are discussed shortly. Since the completion of the LHCb detector, it has extensively been commissioned with cosmic rays, simulated data, beam and beam-induced events. Some commissioning results and an outlook to early physics are presented.
