arm#
- PQSC.arm(*, deep=True, repetitions: int = None, holdoff: float = None) None[source]#
Prepare PQSC for triggering the instruments.
This method configures the execution engine of the PQSC and clears the register bank. Optionally, the number of triggers and hold-off time can be set when specified as keyword arguments. If they are not specified, they are not changed.
Note that the PQSC is disabled at the end of the hold-off time after sending out the last trigger. Therefore, the hold-off time should be long enough such that the PQSC is still enabled when the feedback arrives. Otherwise, the feedback cannot be processed.
- Parameters:
deep – A flag that specifies if a synchronization should be performed between the device and the data server after stopping the PQSC and clearing the register bank (default: True).
repetitions (int) – If specified, the number of triggers sent over ZSync ports will be set (default: None).
holdoff (float) – If specified, the time between repeated triggers sent over ZSync ports will be set. It has a minimum value and a granularity of 100 ns (default: None).
- Return type:
None
