Abstract

The Blackbody Radiation Lab has been developed for students to experimentally learn about the physics of light. It is used as an anchor lab within the Go-Lab project. The lab hardware, which is controlled with LabVIEW software, has been made remotely accessible with the help of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. This implementation had some drawbacks in terms of accessibility, observability and user friendliness. The solution to this problem was found in the development of a client with HTML and JavaScript. With it no plug-ins are required any more. It allows access for multiple users at a time and enhances accessibility as well as the learning experience because the experimentation can now be followed over web cam.
