INTERNET-BASED REMOTE CONTROL OF THE OSCILLOSCOPE BY A THIN CLIENT

Domen Hudoklin

Abstract

Measuring equipment is often complex and expensive. So training on a simulation in virtual experiments is in many cases a good idea, especially if it is conducted over the internet. On the other hand, mathematical models, needed for the simulation of a complex measuring device and complex measuring phenomena have limited efficiency. For this reason a remote control of the real equipment, in this particular case the oscilloscope, is presented in this article. The training efficiency is increased by time sharing the instrument over the internet. Another goal was also to develop a realistic web-based interface that could be used by thin clients, such as an ordinary internet browser without the need for installation of supporting applications. Article discusses the benefits and drawbacks of such approach.
