Abstract :
In the paper the problems arising from the design and implementation of a measurement station for undergraduate Labs activities are discussed. This VXI-based apparatus, by means of a development environment, implements a Virtual Instrument (VI) which helps unskilled operators both in the ordinary working and in the development of new measurement applications
