Abstract :
A new model for building and measuring analog electronic circuits has been developed and validated in the area of remote laboratories. The goal of the proposed solution is to facilitate and improve the set-up, maintenance and update of the hardware used during the configuration, control and measurement of the instruments and experiments included in the lab. The experimental setup does not reduce the performance of the lab, allowing the users to carry out the same actions and activities as they were in a hands-on laboratory. Therefore, thanks to this new paradigm users can practice through Internet and transparently to the hardware that makes possible the remote configuration of the experiments obtaining the same results as in a hands-on lab.
