Remote Experimentation Across the Internet!

Samford University's Physics Department Hosts These Experiments!

To run these experiment you need two things . . .

1. National Instrument's LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. You must get the runtime engine for LabVIEW 8.0! From National Instruments: www.NI.com. After downloading, run the installation.

2. Internet Access during running the experiment. It is possible to run this experiment over dial-up, but it is very difficult.

Quick Directions:

A. Install the correct run-time engine for your operating system. Follow National Instrument's Instructions.

B. Please provide us with your information each time you run the experiment. (When the program asks for it.) We are just trying to keep track of how this service is being used.

E. Any Problems or Questions, or to obtain the analysis password? Please contact the system administrator. Dr. Tommy Tarvin by email or at (205)726-2818.

Our server is limited to serving only 10 clients at a time. If it will not let you on, please be patient, and try again later!

Experiment 1: The magnetic field of a long-straight wire

This is a simple experiment verifying Ampere's Law.
