Abstract
Most of currently existing laboratory servers of remote labs were built fully or partially with LabVIEW programming language from National Instruments. While proving to be the best tool for fast development of excellent SCADA and data acquisition applications, it appeared to be inadequate when it comes to deploying an application to the web. This paper will analyze the tools that can be used for accomplishing this task in the remote laboratories. Various National Instruments and third parties technologies will be compared. It will be shown that LabVIEW application serving as laboratory server can easily be deployed on the standard pluginless web-page without any modifications in LabVIEW code with WebPager.
Highlights
Most of remote laboratory projects start from building the application controlling remote experiment
LabVIEW applications can’t work outside LabVIEW Run-Time engine of a particular version that is needed to be installed on each remote client machine
WebPager will preserve most of the LabVIEW options for each GUI element
Summary
Most of remote laboratory projects start from building the application controlling remote experiment. Another most recent attempt from National Instruments is Data Dashboard This application is able to connect LabVIEW application to remote device but functionality varies across platforms, user interfaces need to be developed and they are quite limited. It can be programmed only from the tablet, requires changes in the code, needs opening ports and poses difficulties for using encrypted communication channel. They abandoned it in favor of pure HTML pages because Java Applets needed for JIL operation are becoming extinct in modern browsers Another solution is LabSockets [4] providing access to LabVIEW application from a webpage. Being a product of Labicom.net [8], [9] it is fully integrated into this platform automatically providing reservation system, load balancing, SSL-certificate and other necessary for remote lab features
