Development of an Online Laboratory: Application for the Characterization of NTC Temperature Sensor

Abstract

This paper presents the development of practical experiences and their implementation on a remote Lab. Among the implemented experiences, we describe here the one that concerns the characterization of the NTC temperature sensor. For this experience, students collect data by varying gradually the temperature of a closed space and verify the effect of the variation of the temperature on the resistance of the sensor through a graphical interface. The measurement results are then saved automatically for further analysis. The remote control system was implemented using the LabVIEW environment whereas the platform that manages these i-Labs is based on the Interactive Shared Architecture ISA.
