  Integrating data is a basic concern in many accredited laboratories that
perform a large variety of measurements. However, the present working style in
engineering faculties does not focus much on this aspect. To deal with this
challenge, we developed an educational platform that allows characterization of
acquisition ensembles, generation of Web pages for lessons, as well as
transformation of measured data and storage in a common format. As generally we
had to develop individual parsers for each instrument, we also added the
possibility to integrate the LabVIEW workbench, often used for rapid
development of applications in electrical engineering and automatic control.
This paper describes how we configure the platform for specific equipment, i.e.
how we model it, how we create the learning material and how we integrate the
results in a central database. It also introduces a case study for collecting
data from a thermocouple-based acquisition system based on LabVIEW, used by
students for a laboratory of measurement technologies and transducers.
