Web-based multi-sensor/instrument control system

A system for monitoring and controlling electrical devices of the type used to measure chemical and physiochemical properties in an environment under study, the system comprising:

• a local central processor having a first memory region for storing an operating system and a second memory region for storing a control system for controlling electrical devices;
• a web browser system embedded in the local central processor;
• a communications system that interfaces with the web browser system for conducting data between said local central processor and said web browser system, said central processor, said web browser, and said communications system being integrated into one unit:
• at least one electrical device for interacting with the environment under study to produce experimental data, said at least one electrical device being coupled to said local central processor;
• wherein said local central processor is further provided with a third memory region for storing control drivers for an electrochemical controller;
• and
• wherein the at least one electrical device comprises any combination of temperature sensors, potentiometric sensors, oceanographic sensors, industrial sensors, voltammetric sensors, light sensors, atmospheric sensors, water sensors, pH sensors, and amperometric sensors.
