This approach is based on a reconfigurable hardware–software platform for use in converter experiments in a basic power electronics course. This course is an optional subject, and, therefore, the experiments need to motivate the students. The platform is controlled by software (made in a LabVIEW environment) run on a PC. The student can control the fundamental parameters of the selected converter topology through the user interface and, with a little work, can compare the results with a real circuit. An example of use of the methodology in an inverter experiment is included. %K Tecnología Electrónica %K Educación %K LabVIEW %K Electrónica de potencia %K Experimentos de los estudiantes %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
