Power electronics and basic electronics real experiments through the World Wide Web

The increasing diffusion and development of information and communication technologies has allowed the introduction of new techniques, such as virtual laboratories, in the world of research and education. The main feature of these laboratories is the remote control of the applications that are developed in the local laboratory and the remote data acquisition and treatment that can be carried out from any point of the planet. This paper focuses on the new equipment, based on specific software and hardware, dedicated to the power electronics and basic electronics teaching through remote HTTP network access. Besides, a novel methodology based on real-time data transfer and interactive applications is presented here. This methodology has been developed on a set of virtual instruments designed over Lab View
