Abstract
While a lot of emphasis is being placed on Internet-based physics simulations, technology will easily support real experimentation across the Internet.1 Instead of students logging on to a site to watch cartoons following the theoretical equations, they could be logging on to a site that has an actual experiment, run the experiment, and download their unique data to analyze. This is not much more difficult to create than a simulation with the modern software and hardware that is available. This paper discusses two different approaches to real experimentation using National Instrument's LabVIEW™2 software development language. The first approach is to embed the application in a webpage served by the server computer. The second approach is the older and still more powerful use of client/server paired programs (called VIs or virtual instruments in LabVIEW terminology.) For either approach a dedicated computer that has an Internet static IP address will be needed.
