- Abstract:
- The Automated Measurement Laboratory implements the newest methods of open and distance learning in engineering. The information Internet servers are extended by laboratory servers, that allow complete experiments on the 4 automated measurement centres - interconnected locally by GPIB and integrated with National Instruments LabView 5.1TM (by the built-in Web Server) in virtual instrumentation configurations with Internet access. Real-time monitoring and control is accomplished by web pages, accessing the web-site of the “Virtual Laboratory” – by built-in MS - FrontPageTM WebBot components “Save Results Form” Handlers to the server and, from it, by publishing the Virtual Instruments’ panels as HTML files – or by data socket transfer protocol (dstp). It incorporates CCD cameras that send images of the remote-controlled systems to the web-page of observation. An economical alternative was implemented as e-mail access (POP3 and SMTP) services: the user completes and sends a message including the programmed stimuli to the laboratory server and test-bench that perform the automated measurement and return the experimental data in an e-mail reply. The user post-processes this information using his specific software.
