Development and Implementation of a Web-Based Remote Triggered Laboratory for Characterization of Analog Components

This paper presents the development of an innovative Remote Triggered Laboratory (RTL) that enables remote characterization of analog components. Designed for the current era of online learning, the RTL, accessed via a web interface, provides a safe, efficient, and user-friendly approach for students to conduct experiments outside a traditional lab environment. This system focuses on the characterization of diodes, Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs), and Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). The setup incorporates relay modules and a PC connected through a USB interface. It employs Python-based software and an Arduino Mega controller, ensuring efficient execution and ease of use. The RTL also ensures safety by limiting user operation to prevent potentially dangerous situations. This advancement in remote labs opens up unrestricted experimental opportunities for students, improving accessibility and advancing the educational experience in semiconductor device characterization.
