- class qupulse.hardware.awgs.tektronix.TektronixAWG(device: tek_awg.TekAwg, synchronize: str, identifier='Tektronix', logger=None, default_program_repetition_mode='once', idle_waveform_length=250)[source]¶
Bases:
qupulse.hardware.awgs.base.AWG
Driver for Tektronix AWG object (5000/7000 series).
- Special characteristics:
Changing the run mode to ‘running’ takes a lot of time (depending on the sequence)
To keep the “arm” time low each program is uploaded to the sequence table! This reduces the number of programs drastically but allows very fast switching with arm IF the awg runs.
Arm starts the awg if it does not run. The first call to arm after uploading new programs is therefore slow. This guarantees that subsequent calls to arm and run_current_program are always fast.
Uploading while the awg runs is VERY slow. The private properties _allow_upload_while_running and _auto_stop_on_upload control the behaviour in this case (stopping the awg or raising an exception). These properties are currently not a stable interface to that functionality hence the privateness.
- This driver implements an interface for changing the program repetition mode consisting of:
the property default_program_repetition_mode
set_program_repetition_mode(program_name, mode)
get_program_repetition_mode(program_name)
Synchronization: The driver relies on the fact that internal variables correspond to the device state: _sequence_entries and _waveforms We do not aim to detect user manipulation but want to make sure invalidate the internal state on upload errors. To do this the attribute _synchronized is set to False. Methods that rely on the synchronization state to correctly modify the awg check that attribute.
All private functions assume that the error queue is empty when called.
TODO: Move logger and repetition mode functionality to AWG interface
- Parameters
device – Instance of the underlying driver from tek_awg package
synchronize – Either ‘read’ or ‘clear’.
identifier – Some identifier
logger – Logging will happen here (defaults to ‘qupulse.tektronix’ otherwise)
default_program_repetition_mode – ‘once’ or ‘infinite’
idle_waveform_length – length of the idle_waveform in samples
- __init__(device: tek_awg.TekAwg, synchronize: str, identifier='Tektronix', logger=None, default_program_repetition_mode='once', idle_waveform_length=250)[source]¶
- Parameters
device – Instance of the underlying driver from tek_awg package
synchronize – Either ‘read’ or ‘clear’.
identifier – Some identifier
logger – Logging will happen here (defaults to ‘qupulse.tektronix’ otherwise)
default_program_repetition_mode – ‘once’ or ‘infinite’
idle_waveform_length – length of the idle_waveform in samples
- cleanup()[source]¶
Delete all waveforms not used anymore and rewrite sequence entries if they are fragmented
- clear()[source]¶
Clear all waveforms, the sequence table and program registry and initialize the idle program.
- property default_program_repetition_mode: str¶
repetition mode for newly uploaded programs. Valid values are ‘once’ and ‘infinite’. You can use set_program_repetition_mode to change the repetition mode of an existing program
- property device: tek_awg.TekAwg¶
- get_program_repetition_mode(program_name: str) str [source]¶
This function uses cached data and does not talk to the awg
- initialize_idle_program()[source]¶
Make sure we can arm the idle program which plays the idle waveform(default 0V) on all channels.
