Abstract

Laboratory experiments can help undergraduate students to gain a better understanding of theoretical problems. This paper proposes an educational tool made up of a user-friendly interface, controlling experimental boards and instrumentation devices, with a new approach based on the FieldPoint™ module and LabVIEW web publishing tool. The proposed system allows students to improve their knowledge in the field of optical sensing devices, virtual instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and signal processing.
