Online Remote Accessible Laboratory (O.R.A.L.)

摘要

The advent of native mobile technologies particularly advances in the Mobile Operating Systems (OS), popularly among Android, Windows Mobile OS, iOS and their acceptance as an alternative to existing browser based access; has enabled the remote access of equipment and instruments over the World Wide Web (WWW). While more and more remote control solutions have been implemented in the industry via Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and the Web, Online Remote Accessible Laboratory (ORAL) has surpassed the simulation as a tool for learning scientific methods with the results and observations being real time rather than ideal and facilitate the conduct of experiments on specific instrumentation from any location. The aim of this paper is to introduce an easy accessible Remote Laboratory Measuring System (RLMS) to provide the students to perform laboratory experiments on actual measurement instrumentation over any smart mobile device, tablets or desktops and PCs. The proposed architecture on real laboratory setup provides solutions for remote access and opens ways for future developments. The system is realized using LabVIEW graphical programming environment which confers its advantages.
