Change Log¶

Release 24.04¶

Release date: 30-Apr-2024

Improved the optimization pass of the AWG compiler that removes unused registers.

Release date: 31-Jan-2024

Release date: 31-Oct-2023

Device: Made it possible to connect and use the device from a different network.

Release date: 30-Jun-2023

FW: Fixed a sporadic firmware issue causing "[error] Exception: TCP receive timeout" in the data server log followed by a disconnect during vector data transfer (e.g. QA results) from the device to the data server. (patch release)
AWG: Fixed a bug, which caused ksn_dsp_awg_vec_read - ERROR: Can’t read write-only ELF Data node messages in the firmware log.

Release date: 28-Feb-2023

AWG: Fixed a bug in the AWG waveform playback for the auxiliary outputs using the SeqC command playAuxWave, where the voltage of the last sample was not held constant as specified.

Release date: 31-Aug-2022

AWG: The ELF data node /DEV.../AWGS/0/ELF/DATA accepts raw data as 8-, 16-, and 64-bit integer vectors in addition to 32-bit words.

Release date: 28-Feb-2022

QCCS: New Real-Time Logger that logs history of received ZSync and DIO messages facilitating setup of feedback data communication

Release date: 30-Aug-2021

AWG: Added support for variable arguments in the playZero() AWG instruction to improve performance of run-time delay sweeps
AWG: Increased update rate of /DEV.../AWGS/0/ENABLE` node such that AWG state may be probed within 10 ms (previously >100 ms)
LabOne: Reduced CPU load caused by the LabOne discovery service in networks with many Zurich Instruments devices

Release date: 28-Feb-2021

LabOne API: Added online Programming Manual and Documentation
Added option to load factory defaults in Device tab
More than 60 ns improvement in latency of real-time qubit readout by new bypass paths of deskew and rotation units
AWG: New sequencer instruction startQA() to trigger integration and monitor simultaneously
AWG: New instruction resetOscPhase() to initialize oscillator phase independently of AWG Integration Trigger
QA Setup: Support of dual-phase demodulation on a single signal input by new options of Signal Input Mapping setting
Oscillator signals can now be enabled independently of the AWG in the In / Out tab

Release date: 20-Aug-2020

NEW option UHF-DIG Digitizer: Scope enhancement with continuous scope streaming, increased memory, dual-channel operation, and segmented recording
LabOne: Trends plots to track readings from the Math sub-tab over time
LabOne: Introduced device error reporting
QCCS: New DIO mode QA Results QCCS and new sequencer instruction setReadoutRegisterAddress for readout result feedback operation in combination with PQSC and HDAWG
QCCS: New sequencer instruction waitZSyncTrigger for triggering over DIO link in combination with PQSC and HDAWG
LabOne: Device Information report in Device tab
LabOne: Improved colormaps available for 2D plots

Release date: 28-Feb-2020

AWG: added SeqC instructions startQAResult() and startQAMonitor()
Result Logger: sequential averaging mode
External triggering of input monitor and integration
QA Result: added complex data plot with persistence, rotation, shift and scaling
LabOne API: new quantum analyzer API module
LabOne: histogram data can be saved in CSV format
LabOne: improved importing of saved SVG figures to main vector graphics editors
AWG: improved compilation stability

Release date: 12-Aug-2019

QAS: it’s now possible to bypass of the crosstalk suppression matrix to reduce the latency
QAS: the oscillator can now be directly output on Signal Outputs on Signal Output 1 (sine) and 2 (cosine) using controls in the Signal Outputs tab. Relative nodes are changed
QAS: discriminated qubit state can now be output on the Trigger Out connectors of the instrument
QAS: crosstalk suppression matrix can be edited in the LabOne UI
QAS: the deskew parameters can now be specified by the gain and phase imbalance of the mixer in the LabOne UI
AWG: Added getQAResult and waitQAResultTrigger instructions to read the result of the last qubit state discrimination
AWG: improved compilation speed and stability
AWG: the waveform viewer now supports waveforms up to 10 MSa length
AWG: the sequencer program memory has been restricted to the cache memory
LabOne: macOS support
LabOne: plots can be saved in PNG or JPEG format
LabOne: add context menus for plots, input fields and device connection dialog
LabOne API: waveform update using vectorWrite replaced by faster and more robust method setVector. Waveforms are now ordered according to the sequence in which they are defined in the sequence program, rather than alphabetically.
LabOne API: waveform update now uses integer format. It’s advised to use the helper functions convert_awg_waveform and parse_awg_waveform to convert to the new format.
Specifications: added performance diagram for Signal Output phase noise
