The MIT Microelectronics WebLab is a remote microelectronics device characterization laboratory. It allows users to measure the current-voltage characteristics of diodes and other microelectronics devices remotely, using a Java-enabled web browser. To run the Microelectronics WebLab, you must have a Java 1.4.2 plug-in installed, available from Sun's web site. You must also enable pop-ups.
Basic Diode Experiment
First, you will need to create an account at the WebLab web site. Account group permissions are manually approved; as a result, there may be up to a 24 hour delay between when you create the account, and when you can run the WebLab experiments. Once your account has been enabled, log in, and select the group appropriate for your class. Select the graphical client, and from there, select Launch Client. You may be asked whether you authorize the downloading of the WebLab client software to your computer; approve this. After a short download and startup time, the client should appear in a new window:

Congratulations! You have successfully completed your first WebLab measurement.
Transistor Experiment
This tutorial walks you through a slightly more complicated experiment - analyzing a transistor.
