Laboratory courses are an excellent environment in which to master basic knowledge obtained in course lectures. However, it is evident that many laboratory environments are computer controlled so that automated testing, measurement, and device protocols are becoming standard. Therefore, this project is making all of the introductory laboratories computer driven. In particular, it is enhancing the education of the students in the following areas: (1) system design and integration; (2) computer interfacing and data acquisition, including computerized instrument control; and (3) testbed design and automated testing. The software implementation is being accomplished through National Instrument's LabVIEW Software, while the hardware implementation is being accomplished using a Pentium-based personal computer with GPIB card. A Lab-PC+ multifunction I/O board is performing data acquisition and control of GPIB compatible instrumentation, which is being connected to the PC computer and controlled via LabVIEW drivers. In addition, computer controlled laboratories are allowing faculty to greatly modify the content of the laboratory curriculum so that a more integrated connection between the theoretical courses and the laboratory offerings can occur. Finally, laboratory experiments with more design content can be offered. *

实验室课程是一个很好的环境，可以在其中掌握在课程讲座中获得的基本知识。然而，很明显，许多实验室环境都是由计算机控制的，因此自动化测试、测量和设备协议正在成为标准。因此，这个项目正在使所有的入门实验室都实现计算机驱动。特别是，它在以下方面加强了对学生的教育：(1)系统设计和集成；(2)计算机接口和数据采集，包括计算机化的仪器控制；(3)试验台设计和自动化测试。软件实现是通过National Instrument的LabVIEW软件完成的，而硬件实现是使用基于奔腾的、带有GPIB卡的个人计算机完成的。一块Lab-PC+多功能I/O板卡实现了对GPIB兼容仪器的数据采集和控制，该仪器通过LabVIEW驱动程序与PC机相连并进行控制。此外，计算机控制的实验室允许教员大幅修改实验室课程的内容，以便在理论课程和实验室课程之间建立更完整的联系。最后，可以提供更多设计内容的实验室实验。*
