Abstract
Many companies and universities understand the trends of evolution in direction of â??Remote Engineering - REâ? like a strong need to sustain the development and especially the fast and deep evolution in the field of â??Virtual Instrumentation â?? VIâ? with direct connection in engineering and education. In this paper we combine a new system â??LabSocket â?? LSâ? with a recognized standard in education â??National Instruments Engineering Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation - Suite NI ELVISâ? and the new myDAQ board for students hands-on laboratories. In recent years at the Creativity Laboratory from â??Transylvaniaâ? University of Brasov â?? Romania many LabVIEW applications based on NI ELVIS and myDAQ have been developed. Now, based on the LabSocket system developed by Bergmans Mechatronics LLC, we can begin to control these applications over the web, and thereby increase the learning opportunities offered to the students. A significant attribute of the LabSocket system is that it extends the functionality of LabVIEW-based industrial or educational applications to the browser, without the use of browser plug-ins or requiring developers to write any HTML or JavaScript code.
Highlights
The LabVIEW application developed by National Instruments enables scientists and engineers to rapidly develop data acquisition and control systems through a combination of an easy-to-understand graphical programming language and an intuitive user interface design framework
Remote access to a LabVIEW application, has to date been limited by either complex solutions, platform requirements; or, the need to manually create client-side software [4]
We describe the LabSocket system and show how the system can enable educators to provide students with remote access to National Instruments NI ELVIS and different data acquisition hardware platforms
Summary
The LabVIEW application developed by National Instruments enables scientists and engineers to rapidly develop data acquisition and control systems through a combination of an easy-to-understand graphical programming language and an intuitive user interface design framework. Remote access to a LabVIEW application, has to date been limited by either complex solutions (e.g. interaction with LabVIEW's Web Services interface [1]), platform requirements (e.g. requiring the use of browser plug-ins that only operate on certain platforms [2][3] , platform-specific solutions [4]); or, the need to manually create client-side software [4]. The LabSocket system, developed by Bergmans Mechatronics, is an alternate solution that enables remote access to a LabVIEW application using almost any modern desktop or mobile browser. We describe the LabSocket system and show how the system can enable educators to provide students with remote access to National Instruments NI ELVIS (or myDAQ) and different data acquisition hardware platforms
