`laboneq.dsl.session` ¶

`Session(device_setup=None, log_level=logging.INFO, performance_log=False, configure_logging=True, _last_results=None, compiled_experiment=None, experiment=None)` ¶

This Session class represents the main endpoint for the user interaction with the QCCS system.

The session holds:

the wiring definition of the devices
the experiment definition that should be run on the devices
the calibration of the devices for experiment
the compiled experiment
the result of the executed experiment

The Session is a stateful object that hold all of the above. The expected steps to interact with the session are:

initial state (construction)
setting the device setup (optionally during construction)
(optional) setting the calibration of the devices
connecting to the devices (or the emulator)
compiling the experiment
running the experiment
accessing the results of the last run experiment

The session is serializable in every state.

Constructor of the session.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`device_setup`	`DeviceSetup`	Device setup that should be used for this session. The device setup can also be passed to the session after the construction of the object.	`None`
`log_level`	`int`	Log level of the session. If no log level is specified, the session will use the logging.INFO level. Other possible levels refer to the logging python package.	`logging.INFO`
`performance_log`	`bool`	Flag to enable performance logging. When True, the system creates a separate logfile containing logs aimed to analyze system performance.	`False`
`configure_logging`	`bool`	Whether to configure logger. Can be disabled for custom logging use cases.	`True`
`compiled_experiment`	`CompiledExperiment \| None`	If specified, set the current compiled experiment.	`None`
`experiment`	`Experiment \| None`	If specified, set the current experiment.	`None`

Changed in version 2.0

Removed pass_v3_to_compiler argument.
Removed max_simulation_time instance variable.

`compiled_experiment: Optional[CompiledExperiment]` `property` ¶

Access to the compiled experiment.

The compiled experiment can be assigned to a different session if the device setup is matching.

`connection_state: ConnectionState` `property` ¶

Session connection state.

`device_calibration` `property` `writable` ¶

Object holding the calibration of the device setup.

`device_setup` `property` ¶

Object holding the device setup of the QCCS system.

`devices: ToolkitDevices` `property` ¶

Connected devices included in the system setup.

Allows the modification/inspection of the state of the device and its nodes.

Devices exist once the session is connected. After disconnecting, devices are empty.

Usage:

    >>> session.connect()
    >>> session.devices["device_hdawg"].awgs[0].outputs[0].amplitude(1)
    >>> session.devices["DEV1234"].awgs[0].outputs[0].amplitude()
    1

`experiment` `property` ¶

Object holding the experiment definition.

`experiment_calibration` `property` `writable` ¶

Object holding the calibration of the experiment.

`log_level: int` `property` ¶

The current log level.

`logger` `property` `writable` ¶

The current logger instance used by the session.

`results: Results` `property` ¶

Object holding the result of the last experiment execution.

Attention

This accessor is provided for better performance, unlike get_result it doesn't make a copy, but instead returns the reference to the live result object being updated during the session run. Care must be taken for not modifying this object from the user code, otherwise behavior is undefined.

`signal_map` `property` `writable` ¶

Dict holding the signal mapping.

`abort_execution()` ¶

Abort the execution of an experiment.

Note

This currently exclusively works when called from within a user function. The function does not return, and instead passes control directly back to the LabOne Q runtime.

`compile(experiment, compiler_settings=None)` ¶

Compiles the specified experiment and stores it in the compiled_experiment property.

Requires connected LabOne Q session (session.connect()) either with or without emulation mode.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default

`compiler_settings`	`Dict`	Extra options passed to the compiler.	`None`

Changed in version 2.4

Raises error if Session is not connected.

Changed in version 2.0

Removed do_simulation argument. Use OutputSimulator instead.

`connect(do_emulation=False, ignore_version_mismatch=False, reset_devices=False)` ¶

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`do_emulation`	`bool`	Specifies if the session should connect to a emulator (in the case of 'True') or the real system (in the case of 'False').	`False`
`ignore_version_mismatch`	`bool`	Ignore version mismatches. If set to `False` (default), the following checks are made for compatibility: Check LabOne and LabOne Q version compatibility. Check LabOne and Zurich Instruments' devices firmware version compatibility. The following states raises an exception: Device firmware requires an update Device firmware requires an downgrade Device update is in progress It is suggested to keep the versions aligned and up-to-date to avoid any unexpected behaviour. Changed in version 2.4 Renamed `ignore_lab_one_version_error` to `ignore_version_mismatch` and include LabOne and device firmware version compatibility check.	`False`
`reset_devices`	`bool`	Load the factory preset after connecting for device which support it.	`False`
