Free for Academic Research
Galois for Research — Free for academic labs.
Your grad students shouldn't be debugging LabVIEW. They should be doing science. Galois gives your lab the same instrument control platform used by engineering teams — completely free for academic research.
Your notebooks, everywhere
Run Jupyter notebooks from anywhere — Docker-isolated kernels with per-session containers and resource limits. pyvisa-galois connects your Python code to bench instruments remotely. No VPN, no SSH, no sitting in the lab at midnight.
AI handles the instruments
Upload your instrument's PDF manual. Evariste searches relevant sections and generates validated SCPI commands. Describe measurements in English — the AI handles instrument communication with safety confirmations.
Reproducible by default
Versioned datasets with JSON schemas and full audit trail. Every measurement logged with provenance — instrument, parameters, timestamp, operator. Export data in standard formats for publications.
The Galois Academic Program
Full platform access. No cost. No time limit.
What you get:
- Full Galois Cloud access (teams, data, AI assistant, remote kernels)
- Unlimited instruments and edge daemons
- Priority instrument profile generation for your equipment
- Technical support via community channels
What we ask:
- Permission to list your lab as a Galois user
- Access to validate instrument profiles against your equipment
- A testimonial if you love it (optional)
Our instrument profiles are validated by working scientists on real hardware — across physics, electrical engineering, materials science, and chemistry labs.
How it works for your lab
Remote characterization
Control instruments from home via pyvisa-galois. Run overnight measurements from your apartment. No VPN setup, no firewall rules — encrypted mesh networking handles it.
Reproducible experiments
Versioned datasets with JSON schemas and full audit trail. Every measurement includes instrument ID, parameters, and operator. Reproduce any result from any point in time.
Publication-ready reports
LaTeX editor with live PDF preview and Tectonic compilation. Generate reports from test data with AI, or write custom templates. Export directly for journal submission.
Your lab deserves better tools
Free for academic institutions. No credit card. No sales calls. No time limit.
