A Complete Measurement Software Workflow For Cryogenic Measurement Systems

Measurement Extension

Delivered as an add-on to our control software DECS, the Measurement Extension brings your complete measurement workflow into one integrated environment. Move seamlessly from automated data acquisition and real-time visualisation to analysis, data export and the preparation of publication-ready reports. Currently available with our TeslatronPT and TeslatronPT Plus measurement systems, this extension facilitates cryostat control, instrument management, editable measurement templates and more, to provide users with a complete, automated solution for cryogenic measurement experiments.

Find out how you can benefit from the latest features available with the newest Measurement Extension release.

Features

Effortless shared resource management – manage users, instruments and software packages from one browser-based interface, with no installation or VPN required.
Open source flexibility – build and adapt measurement workflows to your specific needs using editable Python templates and the QCoDeS package.
Open architecture freedom – integrate Lake Shore hardware and third-party instruments without being locked into a closed ecosystem.
Secure and reproducible databases – store time-stamped results in permission-controlled databases with custom metadata, making every dataset easy to filter, revisit and reproduce.
All-in-1 workflow, from measurement to publication – automate instrument control and acquisition, batch-analyse data in Python, and create reports using LaTeX, Markdown and Pandoc.

Discover the Benefits That Measurement Extension Offers

Simplified Platform Management Ready-To-Use Templates Flexible and Future-Proof Designed for Collaboration Data Analysis and Publication-Ready Reporting

Simplified Platform Management

Manage your shared measurement environment through one browser-based interface with the Measurement Server Administration package within the Measurement Extension. View connected instruments and running services, manage users and permissions, and access DECS, JupyterHub and Grafana - all without installing software locally.

Ready-To-Use Templates

Start measuring faster with editable Jupyter notebooks for common electrical transport experiments. Instrument connections, automated data acquisition and data storage are already configured – simply set your parameters and run. Matching Grafana dashboards visualise your data live, allowing you to monitor results as the experiment progresses.

Flexible and Future-Proof

Adapt the software to your research rather than adapting your research to the software. Modify the supplied Python scripts and Grafana dashboards or create entirely new workflows, integrate additional instruments and design experiments without being limited to predefined measurement types.

Designed for Collaboration

Keep scripts, datasets, metadata and dashboards accessible within one shared environment. Permission-controlled databases allow researchers to securely share results, reproduce experiments and build on colleagues' work – simplifying handovers, onboarding and knowledge transfer.

Data Analysis and Publication-Ready Reporting

Analyse data where it is acquired, eliminating manual transfers between separate applications. Use your preferred Python packages, batch-process multiple datasets and their metadata, and create publication-ready reports with Markdown and LaTeX – all within the same environment.
