    DEVICE CONNECTOR

    Measurements straight from the instrument into the lab journal

    The connector runs in your lab network, reads OPC UA instruments per LADS and hands every finished measurement to LabNote — onto the experiment and the sample it belongs to.

    API docs

    Requires a LabNote account and an API key

    Outbound connections only

    No inbound port, no VPN into the lab. OPC UA with Sign&Encrypt and mutual certificates, read-only by default.

    Signed updates

    The connector reports its version with every heartbeat. Updates are signature-checked and can be switched off per installation.

    Set up in four steps

    1. 1In LabNote, create an API key with write scope under Integrations → Instruments.
    2. 2Install the connector on a machine or VM in the lab network (2 cores, 4 GB, outbound HTTPS).
    3. 3Open the local setup page, paste the API key and add device endpoints with their certificates.
    4. 4Finished measurements land on the experiment or sample automatically — anything else goes to the inbox.
