A CHEAP WI-FI INSTRUMENTATION REMOTE CONTROL PLATFORM FOR ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC DIDACTIC LABORATORY
Fabio Leccese
Abstract:
Remote control of instrumentations and the connected measurement techniques represent an interesting topic particularly appreciated in some sectors as industry, research and e-learning. The current technologies allow to fully control modern instrumentation that is already conceived for this aim, while it is harder to manage old instrumentation not specifically designed for this kind of control. At the moment the costs are strongly conditioned by the current architecture that uses a personal computer as local server to manage the local instrumentations making impossible a really common use of these technologies. In this paper a system for remote controlling instrumentations implementing IEEE 488 or otherwise, based on an economic Wi-fi architecture, is described.
