Sweeps that run themselves.
Set the field, query the time constant, settle, measure, log, the agent builds the sweep and the platform keeps the record.

From cryostat to dataset
Lock-ins, VNAs, magnet controllers, and dilution refrigerators on one control plane, sweep, settle, and log without leaving the fridge unattended.
The problem
Cryogenic measurements live in a tangle of vendor GUIs and lab-PC scripts. One missed settle time or a gap in the log, and an overnight cooldown is wasted.
Overnight runs, observed.
Live telemetry from every channel while the fridge is cold, watch from anywhere, get the full buffer, not a thumbnail.
Every run reproducible.
Instrument configuration is versioned with the dataset it produced, so last month's measurement can be repeated to spec.

Connected over SCPI/VISA, Modbus, NI-DAQmx, or HTTP. Common models ship as ready-made profiles; author your own for anything we don't.
What we automate
Automated field & frequency sweeps
Step the magnet or source, query the instrument's own time constant, settle, measure, and log every point, unattended.
Overnight cooldown runs
Long acquisitions execute while the fridge is cold, with live telemetry from every channel you can watch from anywhere.
Transport & spectroscopy
Temperature- and field-dependent transport, VNA characterization, and pulsed sequences, scripted once and repeated to spec.
How we deploy here
Carbon's engineers profile your fridge stack, lock-ins, magnet controllers, fast sources, and encode your sweep protocols so overnight runs execute unattended and land as reproducible datasets. Settle times come from the instrument, not a guess.
