| The measurement technology, as a key information technique, is playing a moreand more important role in the communication, computer and national security field.The measurement instruments as the tools for measurement technology have alsobeen developed quickly in recent years. At present, the majority of the advancedmeasurement instruments in our country are imported from abroad. Therefore, it’svery important to fully utilize the limited resources. By integrating differentfunctional measurement instruments, and developing remote control methods, theautomatic measurement system can be implemented, so as to maximize the efficiencyof the instruments.With the fast development of the communication technology, most applicationsneed collaborative joint debugging of sub-systems and systems. Due to thecomprehensive requirements, there are urgent needs to integrate the separatedmeasurement instruments into a measurement system. This thesis describes theelectronic measuring instrument systems from the aspects of the hardware integration,the software design, and the system implementation. Based on a real systemimplementation, we analyze the application performance, and also propose the planfor further optimization and system upgrading.Firstly, we analyze the measurement system integration from hardware andsoftware point of view, respectively. System hardware integration consists of threecomponents, namely, the design of system, the system control method, and thehardware configuration. The software of automatic measurement system adoptsmodular design, which enjoys the merits of scalability, adaptivity, and ease ofmodification. Modular system design improves the independence, reliability,maintainability, portability and manageability.Secondly, on the basis of GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus), an automatictest system is implemented and tested. We compare the measurement results providedby the traditional manual testing and the automatic testing provided by the GPIB based automatic measurement system, and the results show satisfactory consistency.In order to improve the performance of the measurement system, there are threedirections for further optimization and system upgrading. First, to augment thecontrol method for better flexibility; second, to optimize software algorithms forhigher speed and better accuracy; third, to support more test measurements.Third, a wireless GPIB controller is designed and implemented to upgrade thecontrol method from wired to wireless. The thesis describes the rationales of thedesign, choices of chipsets, design of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), thecommunication protocols and the software architecture.The thesis focuses on the GPIB-based automatic measurement system. Awireless GPIB based system is proposed, and the hardware of GPIB wirelesscontroller is designed and implemented. The directions for further study are alsoproposed. |
