PLATFORM INDEPENDENT ARCHITECTURE FOR NETWORKED MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
Feng Li · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2002
The paper presents a software architecture that can be used to construct a networked measurement system. The architecture allows many users to simultaneously access instruments physically located in different sites, to program them and to gather the measurement results. The multi-user capability is obtained by means of an intelligent queuing process, while the multi-instrument access is accomplished by means of a self-synchronizing architecture. The developed software is platform independent both on instrument and on user sides thanks to the use of an HTTP-based protocol and of Java components.
