Design and Implementation of a Remote Electronic Measurement System

In this paper, we use interface chips to design and implement the interface cards for the functions of the traditional electronic instruments of a laboratory such as, a power supply, a signal generator and an oscilloscope. In addition, the GUI for the electronic experiments is implemented to provide the users with a method of setting the virtual instrument and of controlling the interface card. Moreover, we integrate the communication software to control the communication between the computer and the interface card by means of an ISA-bus to transmit or receive the waveform data. By utilizing widely used software and hardware, the users at the client site will convey the waveform data through the computer networks and can not only receive the input waveforms from the clients, but can also upload the measurement waveforms to the servers.
