What’s New in the SHFQA User Manual
Release 21.08
Release date: 27-Aug-2021
-
Sweeper: Added a feature to realize pulsed spectroscopy.
-
DIO: Enabled full DIO support. Added new node /DEV…/DIOS/0/MODE to select mode, and introduced the following SeqC commands: setDIO(), getDIO(), waitDIOTrigger(), and getDIOTriggered().
-
Sequencer: Modified the behaviour of the startQA() SeqC command: The "trigger" argument now controls the trigger signal instead of the marker output.
-
Firmware Update: Firmware can now be updated via USB.
-
User Manual: Added tutorials for spectroscopy and qubit readout measurement.
-
LabOne GUI: Added Readout Pulse Generator Sequencer tab.
-
LabOne GUI: Added Quantum Analyzer Result Logger tab.
-
LabOne API: Moved Python API examples to GitHub, https://github.com/zhinst/labone-api-examples.
-
LabOne API: Added EnvelopeConfig in zhinst.utils.shf_sweeper for configuring the envelope for pulsed spectroscopy.
-
LabOne API: Renamed pointwise to sequential, sweepwise to cyclic, dwell_time to integration_time and num_samples to num_averages in zhinst.utils.shf_sweeper.
-
Added new nodes to select either "cyclic" or "sequential" averaging of results: /DEV…/QACHANNELS/…/READOUT/RESULT/MODE and DEV…/QACHANNELS/…/SPECTROSCOPY/RESULT/MODE.
-
LabOne API: Added a new node /DEV…/SCOPES/0/SINGLE to switch between single-shot and continuous mode, only single-shot is available in this release (patch release).
-
LabOne API: Added new nodes
/DEV…/QACHANNELS/n/SPECTROSCOPY/ENVELOPE/… to enable multiplication of the oscillator signal with a complex envelope for pulsed spectroscopy. -
LabOne API: Renamed /DEV…/QACHANNELS/n/READOUT/RESULT/… to /DEV…/QACHANNELS/n/SPECTROSCOPY/RESULT/….
-
LabOne API: Renamed
/DEV…/RAW/QACHANNELS/n/SPECTROSCOPY/TRIGGER/CHANNEL to
/DEV…/QACHANNELS/n/SPECTROSCOPY/TRIGGER/CHANNEL. -
LabOne API: Renamed /DEV…/SYSTEM/SWTRIGGER/… to
/DEV…/SYSTEM/SWTRIGGERS/…. -
LabOne API: Removed SEQUENCER/ from /DEV…/QACHANNELS/n/GENERATOR/SEQUENCER/{AUXTRIGGERS/…, DIO/…, ELF/…, ENABLE, SINGLE, READY, RESET}.
-
LabOne API: Removed the node /DEV…/QACHANNELS/…/READOUT/RESULT/RESET. Instead, a running measurement can now be stopped by writing 0 to the node /DEV…/QACHANNELS/…/READOUT/RESULT/ENABLE.
