For Test & Measurement Engineers

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?

Fragile test scripts
LabVIEW VIs and Python scripts held together with duct tape. One engineer leaves and nobody can maintain them.
No version control
LabVIEW VIs are binary files — you can't diff them, you can't merge them, and you can't code review them. Every change is a leap of faith.
No data infrastructure
Test results live in CSV files on a shared drive. Finding last month's characterization run means digging through folders.
Instrument silos
Every bench has its own scripts, its own drivers, its own way of talking to instruments. Nothing is reusable.

Visual test sequences, not $5K/seat TestStand

Galois Sequences is a cloud-native test sequencing engine. 8 step types, numeric limits, full traceability on every run, and production locking — at a fraction of a TestStand seat, with pricing scoped to your deployment.

Reports in seconds, not hours

Generate publication-ready PDFs from test data with one click. AI-generated LaTeX reports, custom templates with data binding, or a full Monaco editor with live PDF preview. No more copy-pasting into Word.

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)

Real-time monitoring across every bench

Stream live measurement data from any connected instrument. Sub-second SSE updates, multi-instrument dashboards, configurable polling intervals, and connection status indicators. Leave it running overnight — query the data in the morning.
