Cost-effectiveweb-based electronics laboratory using NI MultiSim, LabVIEW and ELVIS II

Abstract

In this paper, the development and evaluation of a low-cost remote circuits laboratory for student learning is reported. The laboratory allows students to measure and control a set of circuit experiments through the internet and to predict and analyze the results. The laboratory is developed using NI MultiSim (for simulation experiments), ELVIS II (for performing real experiments) and LabVIEW™ (for control) and structured to enhance students understanding of basic concepts and circuit analysis.
