This paper describes the implementation of an educational laboratory yielding both remote control of instruments and data acquisition capabilities, through a TCP/IP based network. The system consists of a GPIB interface for connecting the instruments to a server PC, a server-to-client link based on the TCP/IP protocol, a network of client PCs, and a virtual instrument application, available on each client PC, developed using the LabVIEW(TM) software by National Instruments. The system is used in the Telecommunication and Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering, at the University of Pisa, and supports a wide set of instruments for measurements on communication equipments and microwave devices.

Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of an educational laboratory yielding both remote control of instruments and data acquisition capabilities, through a TCP/IP based network. The system consists of a GPIB interface for connecting the instruments to a server PC, a server-to-client link based on the TCP/IP protocol, a network of client PCs, and a virtual instrument application, available on each client PC, developed using the LabVIEW(TM) software by National Instruments. The system is used in the Telecommunication and Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering, at the University of Pisa, and supports a wide set of instruments for measurements on communication equipments and microwave devices.
