Abstract

The Laser Light Scattering and Materials Science Group (LLSMS) at the University of South Australia (www.unisa.edu.au/laser) has developed sophisticated instrumentation which has been widely used by many researchers from outside the laboratory. To increase convenience and utilization, it is desirable remote users could gain access to the instruments. Here we outline the development and testing of a remote instrumentation solution (ULabNet) which provides a free generic tool to create a remote control capability for laboratory instrumentation systems over a variety of Microsoft Windows platforms
