Abstract :
This paper presents an instrument based on a new architecture called "Remote Wiring and Measurement Laboratory" ( RwmLAB) acting as a local multicircuit board on a common distributed panel on the Internet. Matrix switching, data acquisition, data processing and analysis, and graphical unit interface enabled-devices characterize the RwmLAB. RwmLAB is intended to address real-time remote wiring of electrical and electronic circuits and real data acquisition over the Internet instead of using simulated data. This Web-based instrument allows for flexibility and the spontaneous delivery of laboratory material and ensures a global access to a worldwide audience.
