Networked Instrumentation – a New Educational Tool for Students’ Success

Abstract:
This paper presents the methods implemented in LabVIEW, a powerful graphical programming software that allows users to remotely monitor and control virtual instruments. Remote Panels and DataSocket can be successfully implemented in order to create virtual laboratories that would give students permanent access to useful educational resources. We created an application that remotely monitors and controls a FieldPoint system by using two virtual instruments that share data through a DataSocket server. Apart from the above-mentioned virtual instruments’ functionality, the paper also presents the structure of our FieldPoint system and how students can use the VIs to interact with FieldPoint modules.
