Abstract

The paper presents a system architecture, which enables distributed implementation of measuring systems featuring multi-user access, geographically distributed data acquisition and parallel data processing. A distinguishing feature of the architecture is the scaleability: measuring (data processing, control) systems ranging from single-processor to networked symmetric multiprocessor implementations can be built up using the proposed architecture as a backbone - without modification the source code (except configuration data). The open standards based components provide great degree of hardware and software platform independence.
