Cluster API
The Cluster driver is separated into three layers:
QCoDeS driver: Instrument driver based on QCoDeS and the instrument’s native interface.
Native interface: Instrument API that provides control over the instrument and is an extension of the the SCPI interface.
SCPI interface: Instrument API based on the SCPI standard which in turn is based on IEEE488.2.
Warning
This is a preliminary driver for the Cluster that is currently under development.
QCoDeS driver
- class qblox_instruments.Cluster(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)[source]
Bases:
Cluster
,Instrument
This class connects QCoDeS to the Cluster native interface.
- __init__(name: str, identifier: str | None = None, port: int | None = None, debug: int | None = None, dummy_cfg: Dict | None = None)[source]
Creates Cluster QCoDeS class and adds all relevant instrument parameters. These instrument parameters call the associated methods provided by the native interface.
- Parameters:
name (str) – Instrument name.
identifier (Optional[str]) – Instrument identifier. See
resolve()
. If None, the instrument is identified by name.port (Optional[int]) – Override for the TCP port through which we should connect.
debug (Optional[int]) – Debug level (0 | None = normal, 1 = no version check, >1 = no version or error checking).
dummy_cfg (Optional[Dict]) – Configure as dummy using this configuration. For each slot that needs to be occupied by a module add the slot index as key and specify the type of module in the slot using the type
ClusterType
.
- reset() None [source]
Resets device, invalidates QCoDeS parameter cache and clears all status and event registers (see SCPI).
- disconnect_outputs(slot: int) None [source]
Disconnects all outputs from the waveform generator paths of the sequencers.
- Parameters:
slot (int) – Slot index
- disconnect_inputs(slot: int) None [source]
Disconnects all inputs from the acquisition paths of the sequencers.
- Parameters:
slot (int) – Slot index
- connect_sequencer(slot: int, sequencer: int, *connections: str) None [source]
Makes new connections between the indexed sequencer and some inputs and/or outputs. This will fail if a requested connection already existed, or if the connection could not be made due to a conflict with an existing connection (hardware constraints). In such a case, the channel map will not be affected.
- Parameters:
slot (int) – Slot index
sequencer (int) – Sequencer index
*connections (str) – Zero or more connections to make, each specified using a string. The string should have the format <direction><channel> or <direction><I-channel>_<Q-channel>. <direction> must be in to make a connection between an input and the acquisition path, out to make a connection from the waveform generator to an output, or io to do both. The channels must be integer channel indices. If only one channel is specified, the sequencer operates in real mode; if two channels are specified, it operates in complex mode.
- Raises:
RuntimeError – If the connection command could not be completed due to a conflict.
ValueError – If parsing of a connection fails.

Prepare the indexed sequencer to start by putting it in the armed state. If no sequencer index is given, all sequencers are armed. Any sequencer that was already running is stopped and rearmed. If an invalid sequencer index is given, an error is set in system error.
- Parameters:
sequencer (Optional[int]) – Sequencer index.
- Raises:
RuntimeError – An error is reported in system error and debug <= 1. All errors are read from system error and listed in the exception.
- start_sequencer(slot: int | None = None, sequencer: int | None = None) None [source]
Start the indexed sequencer, thereby putting it in the running state. If an invalid sequencer index is given or the indexed sequencer was not yet armed, an error is set in system error. If no sequencer index is given, all armed sequencers are started and any sequencer not in the armed state is ignored. However, if no sequencer index is given and no sequencers are armed, and error is set in system error.
- Parameters:

RuntimeError – An error is reported in system error and debug <= 1. All errors are read from system error and listed in the exception.
- stop_sequencer(slot: int | None = None, sequencer: int | None = None) None [source]
Stop the indexed sequencer, thereby putting it in the stopped state. If an invalid sequencer index is given, an error is set in system error. If no sequencer index is given, all sequencers are stopped.
- Parameters:
sequencer (Optional[int]) – Sequencer index.
- Raises:
RuntimeError – An error is reported in system error and debug <= 1. All errors are read from system error and listed in the exception.
- get_sequencer_state(slot: int, sequencer: int, timeout: int = 0, timeout_poll_res: float = 0.02) SequencerState [source]
Get the sequencer state. If an invalid sequencer index is given, an error is set in system error. If the timeout is set to zero, the function returns the state immediately. If a positive non-zero timeout is set, the function blocks until the sequencer completes. If the sequencer hasn’t stopped before the timeout expires, a TimeoutError is thrown.
- Parameters:
- Returns:
Tuple containing sequencer status and corresponding flags.
- Return type:
- Raises:
TimeoutError – Timeout
- get_waveforms(slot: int, sequencer: int) Dict [source]

- get_acquisition_state(slot: int, sequencer: int, timeout: int = 0, timeout_poll_res: float = 0.02) bool [source]
Return acquisition binning completion state of the indexed sequencer. If an invalid sequencer is given, an error is set in system error. If the timeout is set to zero, the function returns the state immediately. If a positive non-zero timeout is set, the function blocks until the acquisition binning completes. If the acquisition hasn’t completed before the timeout expires, a TimeoutError is thrown. Note that when sequencer state checking is enabled, the sequencer state is checked using get_sequencer_state with the selected timeout period first and then the acquisition state is checked with the same timeout period. This means that the total timeout period is two times the set timeout period.
- Parameters:
- Returns:
Indicates the acquisition binning completion state (False = uncompleted, True = completed).
- Return type:

- Parameters:
- Raises:
NotImplementedError – Functionality not available on this module.
- get_acquisitions(slot: int, sequencer: int) Dict [source]
Get all acquisitions in acquisition lists of indexed sequencer. The acquisition scope and bin data is normalized to a range of -1.0 to 1.0 taking both the bit widths of the processing path and average count into considaration. For the binned integration results, the integration length is not handled during normalization and therefore these values have to be divided by their respective integration lenghts. The returned dictionary is structured as follows:
name: acquisition name
index: acquisition index used by the sequencer Q1ASM program to refer to the acquisition.
acquisition: acquisition dictionary
scope: Scope data
path0: input path 0
data: acquisition samples in a range of 1.0 to -1.0.
