Abstract

This paper presents the design process of a case study for an online interactive experiment, which might also be used in the context of interactive teaching and learning. The presented case is considered as a step towards full laboratory automation. This represents a practical solution for distantly-located universities, where students’ availability in campus is limited. It also provides an attractive economic solution for universities with large number of students, where the availability of enough laboratory equipment represents a challenging financial problem. The proposed system is based on the use of NI myRIO programmed through LabVIEW software. The deployment of NI myRIO is justified due to the required high-speed data acquisition associated with the selected case study: eddy current magnetic brake. Advantages of using both NI myRIO and LabVIEW are: 1) use of standard industrial software, and 2) familiarity of students with the LabVIEW UI.
