Virtual Experiment in Data Acquisition, Display, and Monitorin

Abstract

This paper describes a virtual experiment in data acquisition, monitoring, and processing. The experiment was recently implemented as part of establishing a virtual laboratory that allows engineering technology students to perform experiments online. A front panel in LabVIEW displays the results and permits remote monitoring and control of devices and storage of acquired data. A digital camera that provides real-time pictures of monitored equipment is included in the system configuration. Details about the system design and development along with its programming and testing are given.
