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?
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 $149/seat instead of $5,000.

Power Supply Validation
Run #47 — 2026-03-07
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.
