A methodology for development of configurable remote access measurement system
A configurable remote access measurement system (CRAMS) is designed using an object oriented methodology (OOM) and implemented using the integration of an object oriented language, JAVA, a relational database management system, MS-ACCESS, and an instrumentation software package (LabVIEW). OOM is a powerful technique that is used to manage the complexity of large systems. It allows for easy maintenance and upgrading of the developed systems. The main focus of this paper is to present a detailed procedure for the analysis, design and implementation of CRAMS. The functionality of CRAMS is demonstrated by creating a remotely accessible laboratory environment using a set of programmable and virtual instruments connected to a PC server.
