Abstract

Virtual instruments and distributed systems are of great interest to create advanced and flexible teaching and experimentation environments for measurement technologies at limited costs. Availability of simple and efficient technological supports to dissemination and remote use of virtual systems becomes attractive to increase the access to experimental practice without regard to the number of students and their location as well as the variety of instruments and measurement procedures directly available for experimentation
