Abstract :
A new, low-cost software environment for distributed measuring systems is described. It permits the design of applications based only on Java technology, and consequently, the securing of full Internet integration, platform independence, and unrestricted access to a measuring system by the WWW. The proposed tool permits the design of panels of virtual measuring instruments. A specialized system server, with a proposed controls library, allows fully distributed implementation of a measuring system.
