Abstract :
Virtual instruments and distributed systems are of great interest to create advanced and flexible teaching and experimentation environments for measurement technologies at limited costs. The availability of simple and efficient technological supports to dissemination and remote use of virtual systems becomes attractive to increase the diffusion of experimental practice disregarding the number of students and their location as well as the variety of instruments and measurement procedures directly available for experimentation
