class ZISerializeSettings

Serialization data container to decouple filenames from instrument names during the serialization.

name: str

_serial: str

_type: str

class ZISetting

Zurich Instruments Settings record type.

node: str

value: Any

apply_fn: Callable[[zhinst.qcodes.base.ZIBaseInstrument, str, Any], None]

as_dict() → Dict[str, Any]

Returns the key-value pair as a dictionary.

apply(instrument: zhinst.qcodes.base.ZIBaseInstrument)

Applies settings to the Instrument.

Parameters:

instrument

class ZISettings(daq_settings: List[ZISetting], awg_settings: Dict[int, ZISetting])

A collection of AWG and DAQ settings for a Zurich Instruments device.

Parameters:

• daq_settings – The data acquisition node settings.

• awg_settings – The AWG(s) node settings.

_daq_settings: List[ZISetting]

_awg_settings: Dict[int, ZISetting]

_awg_indexes

property awg_indexes: List[int]

Returns a list of enabled AWG indexes.

as_dict() → Dict[str, Any]

Returns the ZISettings as a dictionary.

apply(instrument: zhinst.qcodes.base.ZIBaseInstrument) → None

Apply all settings to the instrument.

serialize(root: pathlib.Path, options: ZISerializeSettings) → pathlib.Path

Serializes the ZISerializeSettings to file storage. The parent ‘{options.name}_settings.json’ file contains references to all child files.

While settings are stored in JSON the waveforms are stored in CSV.

Parameters:

• root – The root path to serialized files.

• options – The serialization options to associate these settings.

Returns:

The path to the parent JSON file.

classmethod deserialize(settings_path: pathlib.Path) → ZISettingsBuilder

Deserializes the JSON settings for Zurich Instruments in to the ZISettingsBuilder.

Parameters:

settings_path – The path to the parent JSON file.

Returns:

The ZISettingsBuilder containing all the deserialized settings.

Raises:

ValueError – If the settings_path does not end with ‘_settings.json’.

class ZISettingsBuilder

The Zurich Instruments Settings builder class.

This class provides an API for settings that are configured in the zhinst backend. The ZISettings class is the resulting set that holds settings.

This class exist because configuring these settings requires logic in how the settings are configured using the zurich instruments API.

Tip

Build the settings using build() and then view them as a dictionary using ZISettings.as_dict() to see what settings will be configured.

_daq_settings: List[ZISetting]

_awg_settings: List[Tuple[str, Tuple[int, ZISetting]]]

_set_daq(setting: ZISetting) → ZISettingsBuilder

Sets an daq module setting.

Parameters:

setting

_set_awg(awg_index: int, setting: ZISetting) → ZISettingsBuilder

Sets an awg module setting.

Parameters:

• awg_index

• setting

with_defaults(defaults: List[Tuple[str, str | int]]) → ZISettingsBuilder

Adds the Instruments default settings.

Parameters:

defaults

with_wave_vector(awg_index: int, wave_index: int, vector: List | str) → ZISettingsBuilder

Adds the Instruments waveform vector setting by index for an awg by index.

Parameters:

• awg_index

• wave_index

• vector

with_csv_wave_vector(awg_index: int, wave_index: int, vector: List | str) → ZISettingsBuilder

Adds the Instruments waveform vector setting by index for an awg by index.

This equivalent to with_wave_vector only it does not upload the setting to the node, because for loading waveforms using a CSV file this is not required.

Parameters:

• awg_index

• wave_index

• vector

with_commandtable_data(awg_index: int, json_data: Dict[str, Any] | str) → ZISettingsBuilder

Adds the Instruments CommandTable json vector setting to the awg by index.

Parameters:

• awg_index

• json_data

with_awg_time(awg_index: int, clock_rate_index: int) → ZISettingsBuilder

Adds the Instruments clock rate frequency setting.

See ZI instrument user manual
