Remote measurement and instrumentation laboratory for training in real analog electronic experiments

A new system for building and measuring real analog electronic circuits has been developed and validated in the area of remote laboratories. The innovation of this work lies in the use of standardized solutions and non-proprietary solutions for designing and developing remote labs. This decision facilitates and improves the set-up, maintenance and update of the hardware used during the configuration, control and measurement of the instruments and experiments included in the lab. The experimental setup does not reduce the performance of the lab, allowing the users to carry out the same actions and activities as if they were in a hands-on laboratory. This paper describes how this application has been designed and developed, starting with an introduction to the requirements and motivations of this work, following with the description of the proposed architecture. The validation of the prototype that has been built to test the application concludes the presented work. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
