Abstract

Virtual instrument is the system to operate the task of measurement, data processing, monitoring and system control on one virtual platform. The remarkable characteristics are on the integration and the flexible customization. Therefore, the virtual instrument has been used by researchers and engineers as a professional engineering tool. However, by using various features of virtual world, the virtual instrument is utilized as an educational tool for students to learn measurement principle, measuring object, operation method of system and various topics concerning to the measuring. By using at experiments in education, it is expected that the learning through virtual instrument enhances intuition and motivation of students to measurement engineering. This paper describes the construction and characteristics of the educational tool by virtual instrument.
