Abstract

In the educational process in the field of electronics and electrical engineering a breadboard method has been employing for implementing a laboratory practicum. The typical breadboard consists of kits of active and passive electrical network elements and a set of measuring instruments. Following this approach the student has to manipulate real network components which, however, are hidden inside the breadboard, and only their images on the breadboard's switching panel are within the student's reach. The demerit of the approach is that both breadboards and instruments are rather expensive and quite often become disabled. In this paper it is shown how this disadvantage can be avoided by using virtual instruments of the graphic software package LabVIEW.
