Abstract

This work focuses on the design and implementation of web-experiments based on the LabVIEW/Datasocket approach to enhance streaming of live data as well as to facilitate the interaction among the various system modules such as PC platform, digital signal processor board, client/server interface, and the experimental hardware. Besides the LabVIEW based client programwhich requires the remote PC to have LabVIEW installation, a web-browser based client plugin has also been generated for students/users who do not have programming experience with LabVIEW. Test results for multi-client access have been favorable. Reliable real time control bandwidth was detected at about 3KHz, adequate for undergraduate control experiments. The same client/server interface can also be applied to a wide range of experiments for 24/7 and multi-users global access. Other advantages of web-based experiment include: improved safety conditions, reduced cost, and broad base access for all students (full/part time, handicapped). Examples include identification of dynamic systems and DC motor control. Student response and implementation experience are also described.
