A Model for the Efficient Remote Control of Programmable Devices and Simulations

An efficient model for the remote control of measurement equipment and instructive simulations over the Internet is presented. The model includes interactions between a Web server, virtual instruments, real instruments, Java-based HTML pages, and the Internet. The paper discusses the details of the system and presents current results obtained on two paradigms - a network analyzer as a model of a real instrument, and an amplitude modulation simulation, as an example of instructive simulation. To remotely run a process, a user needs to have access to an Internet connection and a standard Web browser. Using this approach, laboratory equipment can be shared worldwide in a low-cost and flexible fashion. Because of its generality, the concept gives promise to effective online-education, where real and smart control of instruments is required by remote users.
