zhinst-qcodes Changelog#

Add new class zhinst.toolkit.Sequence that allows a more flexible use of sequences in toolkit (#141).
Add support for session wide transactions that bundle set command from all devices connected to the data server. (#134)
Add from_existing_connection() to zhinst.toolkit.Session to help reusing the existing DataServer connection.
Bugfix: Nodes with nameless options don’t raise an exception when their enum attribute is called (#165).
Bugfix: Values of enumerated nodes can now be pickled (#129).
Adapt toolkit to use the offline awg compiler when uploading a sequencer code to a awg node. Improves the performance a lot and also enables the uploading of a sequencer code within a transaction (Works both for AWGs and Generators).
Add new function compile_sequencer_code to the awg node.

Adapt AWG Waveform upload (write_to_waveform_memory) to append to existing transactions.
Make consistency validate during waveform upload optional (new flag validate in write_to_waveform_memory).
Add get_sequence_snippet function to zhinst.toolkit.Waveforms class. The function is able to generated a sequence code snippet that defines and assigns the waveforms for this object. Additional meta information like an optional name or the output configuration can be specified through a newly added Wave class from zhinst.toolkit.Waveforms.
Getting a value by calling a wildcard node now returns zhinst.toolkit.nodetree.node.WildcardResult

Commandtable.load_validation_schema can also get the command table JSON schema from the device.
load_sequencer_program now raises an ValueError if empty sequencer_program string is given. #138
Added a new raise_for_invalid_node keyword-argument to NodeTree.update_nodes. #110

Now only a warning (instead of KeyError) is issued when trying to initialize device/module object, which does not have nodes defined in node value parsers.
Minor type hint fixes.#147

Added a helper function uhfqa.qas[n].integration.write_integration_weights for QAS integration weights configuration
Bugfix: Adapt Node Tree to be able to get daq result data #113
Bugfix: in the Waveform class to be able to convert a single waveform into a complex waveform.
Bugfix: HF2 PID nodes are available.

Add missing nodes setting for QCCS mode #108
pqsc.check_zsync_connection blocks even if nothing is connected
Create a temporary awg module every time a sequencer code is uploaded (The reason for it is to have a defined state) #104
reintroduce uhfqa.qa_delay function
uhfli/uhfqa return node object for uhfli.awg instead of raising an error (necessary for qcodes drivers) #102
hdawg.enable_qccs_mode wrong reference clock source fixed
Small docstring corrections

Adapt modulation frequency range to +-1GHz (shfsg.sgchannels[i].modulation_freq, shfqa.qachannels[i].sweeper.oscillator_freq)
Bugfix: DAQ module timeout exception raises AttributeError
