Cluster

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)

Bases: Cluster, Instrument

This class connects QCoDeS to the Cluster native interface.

__init__(name: str, identifier: Optional[str] = None, port: Optional[int] = None, debug: Optional[int] = None, dummy_cfg: Optional[Dict] = None)

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.

property modules: List

Get list of modules.

Returns

List of modules.

Return type

list

reset() → None

arm_sequencer(slot: Optional[int] = None, sequencer: Optional[int] = None) → None

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: Optional[int] = None, sequencer: Optional[int] = None) → None

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

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.

stop_sequencer(slot: Optional[int] = None, sequencer: Optional[int] = None) → None

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

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

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

• sequencer (int) – Sequencer index.

• timeout (int) – Timeout in minutes.

• timeout_poll_res (float) – Timeout polling resolution in seconds.

Returns

Tuple containing sequencer status and corresponding flags.

Return type

SequencerState

Raises

TimeoutError – Timeout

get_waveforms(slot: int, sequencer: int) → Dict

Get all waveforms and weigths in the AWG waveform list of indexed sequencer. The returned dictionary is structured as follows:

Return type

dict

Raises

NotImplementedError – Functionality not available on this module.

get_acquisition_state(slot: int, sequencer: int, timeout: int = 0, timeout_poll_res: float = 0.02) → bool

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

• sequencer (int) – Sequencer index.

• timeout (int) – Timeout in minutes.

• timeout_poll_res (float) – Timeout polling resolution in seconds.

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
