Pulsar

The Pulsar 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.

QCoDeS driver

class qblox_instruments.Pulsar(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)[source]

Bases: Pulsar, Instrument

This class connects QCoDeS to the Pulsar native interface.

__init__(name: str, identifier: Optional[str] = None, port: Optional[int] = None, debug: Optional[int] = None, dummy_type: Optional[PulsarType] = None)[source]

Creates Pulsar 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_type (Optional[PulsarType]) – Configure as dummy module of specified type.

property sequencers: List

Get list of sequencers submodules.

Returns: List of sequencer submodules.
Return type: list

reset() → None[source]: Resets device, invalidates QCoDeS parameter cache and clears all status and event registers (see SCPI).

QCoDeS instrument parameters

QCoDeS parameters generated by Pulsar. The parameters are dscribed in QCM-QRM.

Native interface

class qblox_instruments.native.Pulsar(identifier: str, port: Optional[int] = None, debug: Optional[int] = None, dummy_type: Optional[PulsarType] = None)[source]

Bases: object

Class that provides the native API for the Pulsar. It provides methods to control all functions and features provided by the Pulsar, like sequencer, waveform and acquistion handling.

This class is build upon the PulsarQcm and PulsarQrm classes through composition. This allows us to create a generic native Pulsar class that supports both Pulsar types, but only exposes the relevant interfaces, while also keeping the SCPI classes automatically generated for fast prototyping and development. On instantiation, this class probes the connected device to see which Pulsar SCPI interface to support and adds all respective attributes to this class. Afterwards, this class can be used as if it inherits from it’s respective Pulsar SCPI interface with all features and functionality available.

Note that the bulk of the functionality of this class is contained in the generic_func module so that this functionality can be shared between instruments.

Parameters

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(sequencer: Optional[int] = None) → None[source]

However, if no sequencer index is given and no sequencers are armed, and 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.

get_sequencer_state(sequencer: int, timeout: int = 0, timeout_poll_res: float = 0.02) → SequencerState[source]

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

sequencer (int) – Sequencer index.
timeout (int) – Timeout in minutes.
timeout_poll_res (float) – Timeout polling resolution in seconds.

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

sequencer (int) – Sequencer index.
timeout (int) – Timeout in minutes.
timeout_poll_res (float) – Timeout polling resolution in seconds.

  refer to the acquisition.
- acquisition: acquisition dictionary
  scope: Scope data
