LabWeb1451: Remotely Accessible Virtual Laboratory for Transducer Electronic Data Sheets Creation and Testing

In this paper the realization of a virtual remote laboratory (LabWeb1451) for developing and testing electronic datasheets (TEDS.4) compliant with the recent standard IEEE 1451.4 for plug and play sensors, is discussed. The virtual lab is a Web-based resource for students and researchers working in the sensor field: it consists of a set of software components implemented to support the development of a TEDS.4 database for resistive sensors and to experiment new generation of sensors compliant with IEEE1451.4
