APPROACHES TO PROGRAMMING FOR TELE-MEASUREMENT

Abstract:
Introducing and solving some specific problems of remote access to experiments, the present paper has not only a generic (architectural) point of view, but also a practical one. Based on their previous experience in telemeasurement (SMTP / POP3 and LabView implementations), [1] and [4], the authors built an integrated solution for the "publishing of the test and measurement capabilities" based on Java / Data Socket (or WinSock) transfer for remote access and LabView / Component Works / Visual Basic for local management of the automated measurement centers. A very friendly wyswyg ("what-you-see-is-what-you-get") real time duplex control / monitoring was practically implemented in VB emulated panels of the instruments that can be tele-accessed via a web-page of the remote virtual laboratory, without the requirement of any special Test & Measurement skills at users’ level (allowing them to concentrate on the specific experiment that can belong to any field of engineering).
