Introduction to ExpEYES Junior

ExpEYES stands for Experiments for Young Engineers and Scientists. It is used to perform basic Physics and Electronics experiments.

ExpEYES junior can be used from secondary to graduate level and also in engineering branches.

ExpEYES junior is designed and developed by PHOENIX project of Inter-University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi.

The hardware and software is free and open source. Software is distributed under GNU General public License. The software is available on Linux, Netbook, Android and Windows.

The device gives accurate measurements. The software interface is a four channel oscilloscope. The device is used to perform experiments in various fields of Physics and Electronics like Sound, Electricty, Magnetism, Light, Diodes and Transistors, Logic gates and others.
