Application of Virtual Instrumentation for Sensor Network Monitoring

This paper presents a technical solution for sensor network monitoring based on virtual instrumentation. Computer developing allows usage of virtual instrumentation for measurement, data acquisition, signal processing, estimation, monitoring, fault detection and diagnosis. The sensor networks may be use as distributed measuring sensors for the physical variables in distributed parameter systems, in space, as temperature, acceleration, pressure, luminosity and humidity. There are many possible applications of monitoring in the field of distributed parameter systems, based on the new technologies of intelligent ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. Key-Words: monitoring systems, sensor networks, virtual instrumentation, measurements instrumentation, long distance monitoring by Internet.
