Abstract(s)
The existence of digital instruments able to be
remotely accessed justifies the appearance of weblabs in
engineering education. Currently, weblabs adopt digital standalone
and/or modular instruments to enable the conduction of
remote experiments. Although, the evolution of digital processing
techniques and the dissemination of reconfigurable devices, such
as FPGAs, can be seen as an opportunity to reduce costs and to
increase the flexibility in the design of digital instruments and,
therefore, in the development of weblabs’ infrastructures. This
paper explores the use of other type of digital instruments to
create weblabs, named embedded instruments. It starts
contextualizing those instruments, and suggests some
architectures for their adoption in weblabs’ infrastructures.
Latter, it points out the importance of following the IEEE1451.0
Std. to design embedded instruments able to be reconfigured in
FPGAs, which can be the main elements of a reconfigurable
weblab infrastructure. An example of an embedded oscilloscope
implemented in a FPGA and described according to an
architecture based on the IEEE1451.0 Std. finishes the paper.
