Linux Case: Measurement applications

Application characteristics:

• Measurement information from external sources
• Measurement modification and storage
• Configuration using web based graphical user interface
• Automatic transmition of the measurement information to the network for further processing

Embedded PC as an implementation platform:

• Flash memory, no hard drive, without fan
• Open Source applications used as program platforms
