Modular data acquisition framework

QCoDeS

QCoDeS is a Python-based data acquisition framework developed by the Copenhagen / Delft / Sydney / Microsoft quantum computing consortium. While it has been developed to serve the needs of nanoelectronic device experiments, it is not inherently limited to such experiments, and can be used anywhere a system with many degrees of freedom is controllable by computer. To learn more about QCoDeS, browse our homepage .

To get a feeling of QCoDeS read 15 minutes to QCoDeS, and/or browse the Jupyter notebooks in docs/examples .

QCoDeS is compatible with Python 3.7+. It is primarily intended for use from Jupyter notebooks, but can be used from traditional terminal-based shells and in stand-alone scripts as well. The features in qcodes.utils.magic are exclusively for Jupyter notebooks.

Adding features to Rigol DG1062

Hi Sohail,
I found the driver you started for the Rigol DG1062 function generator, and I was wondering if you have any time to add some more functionality to it? This would be useful for setting up some of the hardware ramps with the MDAC. Specifically, the needed updates are:
• Compatibility with latest pyvisa version (I’ve got some weird errrors that only show up with the new version of qcodes I’ve got loaded on the QT4 computer)
• Set channel output impedance to high-z mode
• Set/get channel sync on/off
• Set output mode to burst
• Configure the following burst mode settings:
o Type
o Trigger source
o Number of cycles to play (n_cycles)
o Idle level
Can you let me know if you have time to help with this? Best,

John
