Abstract :
Remote applications are becoming widely used in various fields such as industry, education, and security. This paper presents a low cost system to monitor and control laboratory instruments remotely by Short Message Service (SMS). The system has been designed using the National Instruments Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) development system. The user sends commands using a mobile phone remotely connected to a modem. The software recognizes the received code and transmits the command to the instrument. The system was successfully tested locally and remotely in a signal measurement procedure.
