Abstract :
This paper describes a novel BluetoothTM-based wireless solution for IEEE 488.2 test systems as opposed to wireless LAN (WLAN) based commercial solutions. Our solution enables wireless test systems to improve on earlier BluetoothTM interfaces for instrumentation. Achieved results are: (1) BluetoothTM-IEEE 488.2 interface development based on a Bluecore2 BluetoothTM module; (2) the first demonstration of wireless BluetoothTM-IEEE 488.2 instrument control.
