it has to be remarked, that also remote engineering becomes easily possible for the described system when the PC is connected by a local network. For example, the experiment which has been built up in the laboratory can be driven by a remote PC somewhere in the network connected via TCP/IP. In such a way data can be directly transferred form the test stand to any PC connected to the network. The above mentioned OPC server software is readily available in Matlab/SIMULINK® and facilitates this remote operation considerably.
