Measurement Control#
We first prepare some utilities necessarily for the examples.

Note that the settable with lowest .batch_size
will be correspond to the innermost loop.
Furthermore, the iterative settables will be the outermost loops.

Instrument Monitor#
You can instantiate an instrument monitor in the following way:
from quantify_core.measurement import MeasurementControl
from quantify_core.visualization import InstrumentMonitor
instrument_monitor = InstrumentMonitor("instrument_monitor")
# Set True if you want to query the instruments about each parameter
# before updating the window. Can be slow due to communication overhead.
instrument_monitor.update_snapshot(False)
