The product difference

A complete experiment interface — not another driver framework

Drivers and APIs make devices reachable. Instraxis focuses on the harder layer: user-facing dialogs, sequence logic, environment awareness, live monitoring and repeatable laboratory operation.

Build visually

Create experiment scripts from ready-to-use commands, open a dialog to enter parameters, then save and reopen the complete sequence.

Coordinate the system

Treat PPMS or DynaCool as the experimental environment and coordinate the surrounding lock-ins, sources, meters and readout devices.

Inspect as you acquire

Follow live channels, fit a selected range and inspect peaks or noise inside Instraxis Control. Analysis preserves the acquired samples.

Instraxis Plot · inside Instraxis Control

Large measurement histories. One Control workspace.

Instraxis Plot brings visualization and selected-range analysis into the application that runs your experiment. Follow the latest readings, inspect an earlier region and use fitting, peak and signal tools without leaving Control.

Our fresh four-backend comparison puts large-data plotting to the test: retained-history streaming, full dataset replacement and chart updates during analysis. Bring your own signals to an Instraxis Control evaluation.

Actual application interface. Environment dashboards, sequence script and command catalog in one workspace.
Designed from real measurement work

The GUI carries the experiment knowledge.

The challenge is not only sending SCPI commands. Users need to choose the right parameters for the current measurement context, prepare the next actions in advance and let the experiment continue without repeated manual intervention.

  • Double-click command dialogsConfigure parameters without editing program code.
  • Nested and linked scansCombine temperature, field, time, current and measurement steps.
  • Save, reopen and reuseTurn validated laboratory experience into repeatable sequences.
  • Pause, inspect and continueKeep the operator informed during practical long-duration work.
One experiment, many instruments

The environment is the center — not the limit

Instraxis coordinates the PPMS or DynaCool environment with the devices laboratories actually connect around it.

Sequence-driven operation

From planned steps to live data

The interface is built around an experiment that moves through prepared actions while the user monitors progress and results.

Long experiments need more than a loop that runs for a long time

Instraxis is developed around real measurement campaigns where the environment, instruments, data and user interface must stay coordinated throughout the run.

Why buy instead of keeping the old script?

A lower software-maintenance burden for the laboratory

A lab may already have code that works. The commercial value of Instraxis is not that control was impossible before — it is that complex operation becomes easier to reuse, understand and support.

Custom legacy control stack

  • Knowledge distributed across Python, LabVIEW, Visual Basic or device utilities.
  • New users depend on the person who originally wrote the control code.
  • Dialogs, live figures and recovery behavior must be built and maintained locally.
  • Experiment changes often require code edits and re-validation.

Instraxis Control

  • Visual sequence editing and dedicated command dialogs.
  • One application for environment control and external instruments.
  • Live figures, data tables and ongoing logging included.
  • Reusable experiment files for future campaigns and users.

Focused hardware coverage for the target laboratory

A laboratory does not need hundreds of unrelated drivers. It needs the relevant instrument families to work together in the experiment it actually runs.

Support the instruments that create real customer value.

Instraxis prioritizes established high-end and widely used laboratory devices, then expands through customer-led integration rather than pursuing an unbounded driver count.
