Translation of an efficient Web-based 3-D matrix switching algorithms for remote switching and control of electrical and electronics instruments

This paper presents a new smart interface module that translates a CGI-query string from a user to a Web server connected to a 3-dimension matrix switching board, which can be used to switch on and off, and to control a cluster of instruments and components. A software procedure has been developed that uses a signature system to identify each instrument and component in the complex system. The Web-server application is developed in HTML, JavaScript, and Java, and in C language for the CGI interface resides in the controller portion of LabVIEW. The LabVIEW software fully integrates the Web server, LabVIEW data acquisition boards and controllers, and the 3-dimensional matrix switching board. The software for the Web-based 3-dimensional system is flexible, portable, can be integrated into many applications or expanded, and easily accessible.
