IOLabWeb Help Page

IOLabWeb is a browser based IOLab application whose main purpose is to allow students with Chromebooks and Linux machines (almost any plaform in fact) to perform experiments using IOLab without installing any software.

This project is still in its infancy so compared to the Official IOLab Application the capabilities of IOLabWeb are quite primitive.

The code is currently under development and is not guaranteed to be stable or bug-free. In fact, if you find a bug or have an idea for improvement please email Mats Selen at mats@illinois.edu. Please do not contact IOLab Tech Support about IOLabWeb since they are not familiar with it.

You need to use version 89 or higher of either the Chrome or Edge web browser. Make sure cookies are enabled since these are used to store your options and calibration constants. The code is updated frequently so always do a "hard reload" to avoid problems due to browser caching of old code and images.

Hovering over a control element will usually show its function.

I am creating the code as an open source project so if you are interested in collaborating please email me at mats@illinois.edu and I will be glad to point you to the GitHub repository.

Help resources and tutorials will appear below as I have time - please be patient.
