Abstract

Virtual instruments for remote experiments visualization implemented with LabVIEW graphical software tool are presented. First solution uses low cost web cameras with universal serial bus (USB) interface and NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras driver. Images from any USB imaging device with DirectShow support can be acquired with these free software driver. Images acquired within server application are lossy compressed with Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) standard and sent over the Internet by using the National Instruments (NI) DataSocket technology. Client application displays received and decompressed image to the remote experiment user. Second solution uses digital cameras complying with IIDC specification and NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 Cameras driver. Compressed images are sent over the Internet by using LabVIEW shared variable.
