Helpers for performing experiments.

compare_snapshots(old_snapshot, new_snapshot)[source]#

Generate a diff between two quantify snapshots, showing which qcodes parameters have changed.

This function only considers changes in numerical values of quantities and ignores type changes, such as numpy.float64 to float, for example.

We also only consider the values of qcodes parameters, and not metadata like timestamps, which always change from snapshot to snapshot.

Parameters:
  • old_snapshot (dict) – The original snapshot to be compared

  • new_snapshot (dict) – The new snapshot to be compared

Return type:

dict

Returns:

: A dictionary summarising the differences between the two snapshots

create_plotmon_from_historical(tuid=None, label='')[source]#

Creates a plotmon using the dataset of the provided experiment denoted by the tuid in the datadir. Loads the data and draws any required figures.

NB Creating a new plotmon can be slow. Consider using PlotMonitor_pyqt.tuids_extra() to visualize dataset in the same plotmon.

Parameters:
  • tuid (Optional[TUID] (default: None)) – the TUID of the experiment.

  • label (str (default: '')) – if the tuid is not provided, as label will be used to search for the latest dataset.

Return type:

PlotMonitor_pyqt

Returns:

: the plotmon

get_all_parents(instr_mod)[source]#

Get a list of all the parent submodules and instruments of a given QCodes instrument, submodule or parameter.

Parameters:

instr_mod (Union[Instrument, InstrumentChannel, Parameter]) – The QCodes instrument, submodule or parameter whose parents we wish to find

Return type:

List

Returns:

: A list of all the parents of that object (and the object itself)

load_settings_onto_instrument(instrument, tuid=None, datadir=None, exception_handling='raise')[source]#

Loads settings from a previous experiment onto a current Instrument, or any of its submodules or parameters. This information is loaded from the ‘snapshot.json’ file in the provided experiment directory.

Parameters:
  • instrument (Union[Instrument, InstrumentChannel, Parameter]) – the Instrument, InstrumentChannel or Parameter to be configured.

  • tuid (TUID) – the TUID of the experiment. If None use latest TUID.

  • datadir (str) – path of the data directory. If None, uses get_datadir() to determine the data directory.

  • exception_handling (Literal[‘raise’, ‘warn’] (default: 'raise')) – desired behaviour if error occurs when trying to get parameter: raise exception or give warning.

Raises:

ValueError – if the provided instrument has no match in the loaded snapshot.

Return type:

None

deprecation#

Utilities used to maintain deprecation and reverse-compatibility of the code.

_find_stack_level()[source]#

Find the first place in the stack that is not inside quantify-core (tests notwithstanding).

(adopted from pandas.util._exceptions.find_stack_level)

Return type:

int

deprecated(drop_version, message_or_alias)[source]#

A decorator for deprecating classes and methods.

For each deprecation we must provide a version when this function or class will be removed completely and an instruction to a user about how to port their existing code to a new software version. This is easily done using this decorator.

If callable is passed instead of a message, this decorator assumes that the function or class has moved to another module and generates the standard instruction to use a new function or class. There is no need to re-implement the function logic in two places, since the implementation of new function or class is used in both new and old aliases.

Parameters:
  • drop_version (str) – A version of the package when the deprecated function or class will be dropped.

  • message_or_alias (Union[str, Callable]) – Either an instruction about how to port the software to a new version without the usage of deprecated calls (string), or the new drop-in replacement to the deprecated class or function (callable).

Return type:

Callable[[Callable], Callable]
