Modeling Virtual Laboratory Based on Distributed Measurement Hardware Resources for Measurement Technology Education

Experimentation has always been an essential ingredient to sustain the learning activities in education. The problems of providing a real, one-to-one updated workbench, physical specialist laboratory such as the lack of funding and evolution of measurement equipment constrain experimentation opportunities. Features of virtual lab make it attractive and convenient to solve those problems. VLMHR is such a virtual lab providing experimentation, which is based on some distributed measurement hardware resources which are becoming more and more useful for their feasibilities they give for interactive access and control. VLMHR consists of three parts: VLMHR management server, VLMHR resources, and VLMHR client. VLMHR is described in terms of its features, VLMHR architecture is presented and experiment process given in some details.
