class ZISession:
"""Session to a data server.
Zurich Instruments devices use a server-based connectivity methodology.
Server-based means that all communication between the user and the
instrument takes place via a computer program called a server, the data
sever. The data sever recognizes available instruments and manages all
communication between the instrument and the host computer on one side, and
communication to all the connected clients on the other side. (For more
information on the architecture please refer to the user manual
https://docs.zhinst.com/labone_api_user_manual/description_and_guidelines/software_architecture.html)
The entry point into any connection is therefor a client session to a
existing data sever. This class represents a single client session to a
data server. The session enables the user to connect to one or multiple
instruments (also creates the dedicated objects for each device), access
the LabOne modules and poll data.
Since QCoDeS normally instantiate the device specific objects directly
this driver also exposes helper classes for that directly. These helper
classes create a session and connect the specified device to it. To avoid
that each device has a own session by default ``ZISession`` only creates one
session to a single data server and reuses that.
Info:
Except for the HF2 a single session can be used to connect to all
devices from Zurich Instruments. Since the HF2 is historically based on
another data server called the hf2 data server it is not possible to
connect HF2 devices a "normal" data server and also not possible to
connect devices apart from HF2 to the hf2 data server.
Args:
server_host: Host address of the data server (e.g. localhost)
server_port: Port number of the data server. If not specified the session
uses the default port 8004 (8005 for HF2 if specified).
(default = None)
hf2: Flag if the session should be established with an HF2 data sever or
the "normal" one for all other devices. If not specified the session
will detect the type of the data server based on the port.
(default = None)
new_session: By default zhinst-qcodes reuses already existing data
server session (within itself only), meaning only one session to a
data server exists. Setting the Flag will create a new session.
Warning: Creating a new session should be done carefully since it
requires more resources and can create unwanted side effects.

not create a new session to the data server but reuse the passed
one. (default = None)
