Experiments​

An experiment in Open Research Laboratory is a virtual representation of a scientific test. You can include a single component (like a Multimeter) or multiple devices to conduct complex simulations. Think of it like setting up a real lab table — choose your tools and run your test.

How to Create an Experiment​

Step-by-step Instructions:

  1. Log into your account

    • If you’re new, you’ll automatically receive 50 free credits.

  2. Click on "+ Experiment"

    • You’ll find this option in your navigation.

  3. Select Your Lab

    • Choose the lab based on your experiment.

  4. Enter Research Details

    • Think it like giving execution guidelines to your fellow researcher.
info

Provide essential information about your experiment, including the objective, and any key parameters. This step is crucial for the View AI Assistant to accurately configure and run your experiment within the Open Research Laboratory.

  1. Use Research Components via View

    • Add components effortlessly using plain text prompts. Just say “add a laser”, and View AI will handle the rest.

  2. Start

    • Credits will be deducted based on selected components.
    • Results are shown in real-time, but it may take upto 10 mintues depending on your experiment complexity.
