Development of Online Laboratories for Modulation and Combinational Logic Circuit Analysis Using NI ELVIS II™ Platform

A Remote Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications Lab Utilising the Emona DATEx

“…iLabs have been used to support several courses in the curricula of the Bachelors of Science in Electrical, Telecommunications and Computer Engineering Programmes over the past seven years. [5]- [7].…”

Remote Realistic Interface Experimentation Using the Emona Datex Board

“…It would therefore be relatively easier to develop a new iLab based on it. In addition, remote control of all NI ELVIS instruments can be achieved through Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Experimentation Workbench (LabVIEW), an approach already used in the previous labs 12,15 .…”

“…The Lab Client was developed with JavaFX, a platform for creating and delivering Rich Internet Applications (RIA) that can run across a wide variety of computer platforms 13 .The graphics capability of JavaFX makes it easier to develop applications with graphical features especially when compared to languages like Java, C#, Microsoft Silverlight and LabVIEW, which have been used in developing iLabs 8,12,14,15,16 .…”

“…Rlabs based on it are simply termed iLabs 6,7,8,9 . The iLab platform provides a common framework on which laboratory equipment can be integrated to create remote laboratories and over the years, iLabs have been used to deploy a wide range of experiments cutting across various disciplines 7,12,14,15,16 . The iLab ISA creates a generic system for common tasks like authentication and data storage enabling the lab developer to focus more on tasks unique to the specific lab being developed.…”
