Remote Laboratory Experiments

The laboratory exercises that you will be running, are actual web-enabled experiments, not simulations. Users are able to send control parameters to and receive response data from experimental hardware apparatus in our remote laboratory located in Fitzpatrick Hall. These distributed systems as shown in the figure below, use Internet communications known as DataSocket, consisting of three parts, a software Client where users input control data to the hardware and receives response data back which then displays them for the remote user; a Server connected directly to the experimantal apparatus through appropriate an I/O control board, samples and transmits the response of the system back to the Client; and a transparent DataSocket Server responsible for controlling data being sent between the Client and Server. By downloading the approprate client software, each of the following experiments can be run from anywhere in the world.
