A measurement laboratory on geographic network for remote test experiments

A remote laboratory for teaching purposes in the field of measuring experim ents was activated. Students can access automatic measuring setups and inst ruments via a geographic network and directly carry out real experiments. T his laboratory has been devised on the basis of de-facto networking standar ds so that students are required to use only a simple commercial Internet W eb browser. Moreover, a concurrence of more users on the same measuring set up is allowed, The remote laboratory concept allows measuring resources loc ated at different geographically remote sites to be utilized by a wide dist ribution of students. In this way, a more complete educational proposal can be economically offered by several geographically remote laboratories spec ialized in different measuring fields.
