In traditional basic teaching labs, connecting instruments to a network is challenging. Building an internal network through cables is tedious, and most of the instruments do not have a LAN port. Tektronix TekSmartLab connects instruments to a network by converting USB ports to Wi-Fi ports.

The wireless lab instrument management solution supports up to 120 instruments (30 benches) on a single platform. Centralised configuration allows professors to load different course requirements and distribute them to up to 120 instruments with a single mouse click. Professors can easily check the instrument status and measurement contents to help with a specific test bench remotely and to save a student’s measurement results into a report.

The product also improves overall lab management. In conventional teaching labs, asset managers must manually check and record information such as instrument model numbers, serial number and location. The solution automatically records and displays asset information every 30 s, including usage time. Just one click archives the asset and usage information.

A typical classroom test bench consists of an oscilloscope, function generation, digital multimeter and power supply. Most Tektronix and Keithley instruments intended for education applications are supported by TekSmartLab.
