Abstract :
This paper deals with a Bluetooth-based interface for instrumentation, whose aim is that of satisfying today´s arising need of wireless connection in developing automatic measurement systems. After some notes about the Bluetooth communication protocol, the interface architecture of both hardware and software parts is described. Finally, some experimental results allow early conclusions to be drawn about the interface performance.
