Replace LabVIEW with something you actually want to maintain
Your team is spending $200K/year on NI licenses and another $150K on the LabVIEW developer who maintains your scripts. galois-edge gives you Python-native instrument automation with a modern cloud platform — for a fraction of the cost.
Sound familiar?
One daemon, every instrument
galois-edge connects to any SCPI instrument over GPIB, USB, LAN, or Serial. 86 instruments from 20 manufacturers work out of the box. Add new instruments with a YAML profile — or upload the manual and let the AI generate one.
$ galois-edge status
Daemon running on :50051
Connected instruments:
1. Keysight 34465A [USB]
2. R&S SMB100A [LAN]
3. Tektronix MSO46 [GPIB]
4. Siglent SDG6052X [USB]
Measure the frequency response of the DUT from 1 MHz to 1 GHz with 100 points.
I'll use the R&S SMB100A as the signal source and the Keysight 34465A to measure output power. Here's the plan:
- Configure SMB100A: 1 MHz start, 0 dBm output
- Sweep 100 log-spaced points to 1 GHz
- At each point, measure with 34465A
Confirm to execute?
AI-powered test automation
Describe what you want to measure. The AI assistant selects instruments, builds the command sequence, and executes it — with human confirmation before every hardware action. No more deciphering SCPI command tables.
Cloud platform for the whole team
Test orchestration, run history, data platform, and team management. Every measurement is tracked with full provenance — which instrument, which parameters, which engineer, when.
# Query recent test runs via API
import galois
client = galois.Client()
runs = client.runs.list(
instrument="34465A",
after="2026-02-01",
status="passed",
)
for run in runs:
print(run.id, run.engineer, run.duration)
