Remote Measurement System Using Internet

A vehicle for a complete engineering and scientists practical formation is presented. It is made possible by the use of virtual instrumentation, not in the sense of a simulation tool, but as the remote access to facilities located in related research laboratories. Internet World Wide Web provides a best way to materialize this remote access, reducing the requirements in the educational laboratory to workstations (WS) or personal computers (PC). The different parts that integrate the whole remote access measurement system are: the measurement instrument, a controller equipment that will be called instrumentation server, a web server and the client computer (PC or WS) from which the user accedes to the system. The user application has been developed in Java, in order to provide it a multiplatform characteristic. It contains the graphic interface, reproducing the front panel of the measurement instrument, by mean of which the user performs the set of remote measures.
