01 / PRODUCT

The agentic control plane for the bench.

Labflow turns "run a transfer curve from 0 to 3.2 V, settle 50 ms, stop above 10 mA" into a calibrated measurement, a watched waveform, and a signed lab report — without trading away an inch of safety or reproducibility.

Open console See supported instruments
02 / WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Six pillars. One console.

Each pillar is a real surface in the product, not a deck slide. The same primitives drive a transfer curve, a PSRR sweep, or a 24-hour burn-in.

PILLAR · 01

One console for the whole bench

SMUs, scopes, function generators, supplies, DMMs and DAQs — discovered, paired, and driven from a single workspace.

PILLAR · 02

Talk to the instrument

Describe the experiment in plain English. Labflow compiles intent into SCPI, validates against safety limits, and shows you what it intends to send.

PILLAR · 03

Live waveform reasoning

The agent watches the trace as it captures. Ringing, clipping, drift, oscillation — flagged in prose with the matching segment of the waveform.

PILLAR · 04

Human-in-the-loop policy

Hard caps on current, voltage, ramp rate and dwell. Anything above your policy threshold pauses for dual-sign approval, with a full session audit trail.

PILLAR · 05

Reproducible by default

Every run emits a signed manifest. Re-run it three years later, identically — same SCPI, same compliance, same trigger.

PILLAR · 06

Lab-notebook reports

Publication-ready PDF, HTML, Markdown or LaTeX. Plots, prose, transcript and provenance — written the moment the sweep ends.

03 / CONSOLE

Anatomy of the console.

Three columns, one truth. Instruments on the left, work in the middle, agent on the right — and a status strip telling you exactly what the bench is doing this second.

CONSOLE / 01

Bench rail

Live tree of every connected instrument with status LED, transport (GPIB/USBTMC/LAN/Serial), and last-seen calibration.

CONSOLE / 02

KPI strip

Drain current, Vpp, stimulus, sweep progress — refreshed at instrument cadence, not at browser cadence.

CONSOLE / 03

Scope view

Channels, dividers, cursors and triggers. Side-by-side with the agent so observations and waveforms share one timeline.

CONSOLE / 04

SMU table

Source mode, setpoint, measured, compliance — all four channels at a glance, with sweep state inline.

CONSOLE / 05

Safety panel

Bench-wide ceilings, probe temperature, operator-confirm gates, auto-shutdown — armed and visible at all times.

CONSOLE / 06

Agent stream

Every message, plan step, tool call and observation in a single auditable feed. Reply, redirect, or hand control back.

Try it on your bench.

One-week guided trial, free, on a single bench. Bring your own instruments — we'll auto-discover anything on GPIB, USBTMC or your subnet and an engineer pairs with you on the first sweep.

Read the docs first.

Quickstart, SCPI cookbook, driver matrix and the protocol DSL — everything we wish we'd had three labs ago.
