IntroductionTo bring automatic, computer-controlled experiments into teaching laboratories, especially at theintroductory level, where they must be accessible to every student, might be a dream of many labinstructors. There are several challenges on the road to its fulfillment, both on the technical andpedagogical sides. The technical ones include: (a) availability of proper test and measurementinstruments along with computers, (b) successful choice of software, (c) its adaptation to theneeds of Instructional Laboratories, and – nearly inevitable – (d) debugging.
