The recent wide diffusion of (i) easy-to-use software tools for the implementation of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs); and (ii) communication-oriented instrumentation, often provided with Ethernet interface, in addition to the more traditional GPIB and RS-232 ones, can be particularly exploited in the field of measurement teaching. It is well known, in fact, that for a better understanding of the teaching issues in such a field, the students have to practice with real instrumentation. The computer-based simulations are often inadequate to assure a good experience in that direction. The tools mentioned above give the possibility of accessing real measurement instrumentation from a remote location, such as the students’ homes.
