The present invention is a softare/hardware architecture which is based on an interactive graphical network model and which performs synchronized acquisition, processing and sharing of instrumentation data from at least one remote instrument coupled to one server and which synchronizes the control of devices including said instruments in a client-server network. In a specific embodiment, responsive to input from a user, the architecture transmits a selected software control object associated with a selected instrument. Second, the software/hardware architecture displays a graphical representation of a functionality of the selected software control object. Third, the software/hardware architecture, responsive to input from the user, acquires instrumentation data. Fourth, responsive to further input from the user, the software/hardwar e architecture stores the instrumentation data. Fifth, responsive to input from the user to a selected device driver associated with the selected instrument, the software/hardware architecture sends the instrumentation data to the display device of the client for presentation to the user. Sixth, the software/hardware architecture, responsive to further input from the user, presents a graphical representation of the instrumentation data to the user. Seventh, the software/hardware architecture manages the selected software control object at least for controlling a defined behavior of the object. Finally, the software/hardware architecture interfaces the selected software control object to the selected instrument via the client-server network and a device driver manager in each one of the servers.
