EQ Lab Gateway
Continuous waveform monitoring for research labs, classrooms, and testbeds
The EQ Lab Gateway brings the same continuous waveform monitoring platform we deploy in industrial environments into a compact, lab-friendly form factor. Built on a Raspberry Pi 5, it records every waveform from EQ Wave™ with EQ Coherence™, shows it live in EQ Sight™, and includes JupyterLab for hands-on analysis. AI diagnostics from EQ Syntropy™ are available as a remote service when you need deeper analysis.
It serves universities, research groups, training programs, and teams prototyping electrical devices: anyone who needs real waveform data, not simulated cases.
What Is Included
EQ Lab Gateway hardware
- Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB NVMe SSD
- Boots directly into EQ Sight with full local access to waveform data
- Media converter for the fiber-to-copper connection to EQ Wave sensors
EQ Wave sensor
The same EQ Wave v1 we deploy in industrial facilities:
- Continuous point-on-wave capture at 32 ksps per channel, 24-bit
- 3 voltage and 4 current channels, sampled simultaneously
- Isolated by plastic optical fiber (100Base-FX)
Software and analytics
- EQ Sight: live dashboards and waveforms, harmonic analysis, and history down to a single cycle, served from the gateway
- JupyterLab: Python notebooks with direct access to the recorded Parquet files, for custom analysis, teaching materials, and research
- equser: our open-source Python toolkit from PyPI, on the device to use as is or extend
- EQ Syntropy, remote: AI diagnostics and root-cause analysis, run on our servers
- Remote support: secure access for setup help and software updates
Data access
The Lab Gateway offers the same data paths as every EQ gateway: the recorded Parquet files, REST and WebSocket APIs for history and live data, the metrics stream every 10 or 12 cycles, and Modbus TCP and MQTT. The acquisition and storage pipeline is written in Rust; everything you touch as a developer is Python.
Who This Is For
- Grid modernization and power systems labs: continuous waveform data for inverter-dominated grid research, distributed energy resource (DER) interaction studies, and microgrid testbeds
- Power electronics and converter testbeds: the harmonics, interharmonics, and control interactions converters put on the line, up to about 8 kHz
- Workforce development and training programs: hands-on power quality analysis using real waveform data and industry-standard tools
- Electrical device prototyping: see how a new device draws power, from inrush to steady state, while it is still on the bench
- Senior design and graduate courses: an accessible platform for student projects with Python notebooks and open data formats
Pricing
- USD $3,000 per complete node, with everything listed above, plus the fiber cable and setup support
- Additional sensors can be added for multi-point monitoring.
