Abstract: A method for acquiring and managing data from a plurality of measuring instruments includes acquiring data from at least one measuring instrument disposed in each of at least one measurement station. The data is provided to a server computing unit. The data is processed in the server computing unit with at least one microserver so as to provide client-compatible data. The client-compatible data is accessed in the server computing unit of the at least one measurement station through a communication network in at least one client station. The accessed client-compatible data is further processed in the at least one client station with at least one client computing unit.
