Abstract

Control of instrumentation systems through network PC´s is increasingly important nowadays, both in the industry and in R&D centers. This paper presents an automated measurement system used to characterise a semiconductor device. The system can be controlled by any of the PC´s integrated in a LAN network using a client/server communication. The server controls the instrumentation through an IEEE-488 interface bus
