Abstract
In this paper we present a new model to control the instruments and experiments in a remote laboratory. This model is based on LAN networks and a control methodology through reusable drivers. The objective is to obtain a software control architecture independent of the hardware of the laboratory, so each institution can use its own equipments and experiments based on its needs and with minimal restrictions regarding to the hardware of the lab.
Highlights
WebLab-Deusto is the concept of remote laboratory designed and developed by the homonymous research group of the University of Deusto
The method that we propose in this paper combines the best of the concept of remote laboratory proposed by the WebLab-Deusto [8], with the power of the environment designed in the VISIR project
From the point of view of the deployment of the VISIR lab, there are several important issues to be considered: a) the need for a PXI platform; b) to have a number of modules of the switching matrix in order to accommodate the components of the available circuits; c) to understand how the switching matrix and its management server works [9], in order to set up the matrix and describe the available circuits on the platform; d) the price both the PXI and the switching matrix
Summary
One of the greatest advantages of the use of the VISIR lab as a support for teaching and from the point of view of the user is the power of its user interface It has been developed using Adobe Flash, which allows the student to execute the same actions that would take place in the real laboratory, but in a remote way: place components in a breadboard, perform the connections between them, configure the instruments, and carry out measures over the circuit under test. We want to integrate the proposed control method in the WebLab-Deusto platform in order to include in this platform laboratories focused on digital electronics Using this platform we can benefit from its web environment advantages: the most important one is that this management system allows the professor to obtain information on the tasks carried out by each student in each of its connections.
