The monitoring of power quality is the foundation and prerequisite of its improvement. There are a lot of disadvantages in the conventional method of power quality monitoring, the adoption of the virtual instrument and network technology can overcome these disadvantages very well. Remote power quality monitoring system based on LabVIEW was put forward, as well as the way of the combination of software and hardware and the realization procedure is illustrated in detail in this paper. Then the merits of this way are mentioned, and the additional functions that can be further developed. This paper provides a more convenient way for the realization of remote power quality monitoring
