v0.17.1: bump version 0.17.1 (#201)

Fixed

• results/DataHandler - Only load DataHandler XarrayDataProcessor if xarray can be imported
• results/DataHandler - Fix bug with the data folder path.
• bakery - Fix typo in the baking tool config lookup (mwInput -> MWInput)

v0.17.0

Added

• Video_mode - New module to update some pre-defined parameters of a QUA program while fetching data from the OPX.
• simulator - create_simulator_controller_connections can now be used to create the connections between a subset of a large cluster.
• results - DataHandler can be used to save data (values, matplotlib figures, numpy/xarray arrays) to the local file storage.
• callable_from_qua - Framework used to call Python functions within the core of a QUA program.
• octave_tools - Added library of functions for manipulating the calibration database and updating the mixer correction parameters dynamically in Python or in QUA directly.
• digital_filters - Added library of functions allowing the derivation of the digital filter taps to correct distortions.
• macros - Added long_wait convenience macro to simplify waiting for longer than the maximum wait time.

Changed

• bakery - Added the possibility to use the mwInput key to enable baking compatibility with MW-FEM dedicated element.
• config/waveform_tools - Added sampling rate argument with default value set to 1GS/s to the waveforms.
• simulator - create_simulator_controller_connections now creates the connections with a different algorithm that uses all available optical connections.
• simulator - create_simulator_controller_connections order of input parameters has changed.
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Fixed the unit of phase
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Added a flag to allow for the phase to remain wrapped
• results - Add a warning when timeout is reached in wait_until_job_is_paused.

Deprecated

• simulator - qualang_tools.simulator_tools has been deprecated and was moved to qualang_tools.simulator.

Fixed

• loops - An error will be raised when the logarithmic step is too small (from_array & qua_logspace with integers).

v0.16.0

Fixed

• ConfigBuilder - Element now correctly accepts default arguments.
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Fix bug with the setpoints when streaming the raw adc traces.
• bakery - add the RF_inputs key to be compatible with the Octave API from qm-qua>=1.1.5.

Added

• External_frameworks/qcodes - Added update_readout_length() to update locally the readout length of a given readout element and operation.
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Added update_qm() to update the quantum machine (close and re-open it) in case the config has been updated.
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Added live_plotting() to fetch and plot the OPX results while the program is running.
• Unit - Added volts2dBm and dBm2volts.

Changed

• Eased package dependencies, requires python 3.8 or above
• Unit - demod2volts now has a single_demod flag to correctly convert the data from single demodulation.

Deprecated

• ConfigBuilder and ConfigGUI are not being activity developed and may not have all config options

v0.15.2

Added

• results - Add wait_until_job_is_paused() to block python console until the OPX sequence reaches a pause() statement.
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Added cluster_name as optional input parameter to connect to the OPX with QOP220 or above.

Changed

• Units.unit - units.unit.Hz now rounds the result and casts it to an integer if the flag coerce_to_integer is set to True. Same for kHz, MHz and GHz.
• External_frameworks/qcodes - Added wait_until_job_is_paused() in the resume() command to ensure that resume will be called only after the program reached the pause() statement.

v0.15.1

Changed

• Loosened requirements on pandas

Added

• External_frameworks/qcodes - Add the possibility to input a scale factor to the get_measurement_parameter() function in order to convert the results from Volts to an arbitrary unit.

Fixed

• External_frameworks/qcodes - Now it is possible to plot several results on the same graph with the inspectr tool.

v0.15.0

Added

• External_frameworks - add QCoDeS drivers to set the OPX as a QCoDeS instrument.
• Examples - add examples to show how to integrate the OPX in your QCoDeS framework and customize the QCoDeS driver

v0.14.0

• Changed qm-qua requirements to be >=1.1.0

Added

• Config.helper_tools - Added the function transform_negative_delays() to adjust a config containing negative delays by offsetting all delays by the most negative one.

Fixed

• Fixed the loops library to support qm-qua 1.1.0

v0.13.2

Added

• Plot.fitting - add resonator frequency vs flux fitting function.
• Plot.plots - add the possibility to fit the data to be plotted for plot_demodulated_data_1D.
• addons.variables.assign_variables_to_element - A function to force variables assignment to specific elements.

Changed

• Units.unit - units.unit.ns now returns 1/4 within an open qm.qua.program scope and 1 otherwise. Same for us, ms, s, and clock_cycle. By default results of a * ns operation are cast to int and a warning is generated if casting discards a nonzero remainder.

Fixed

• simulator_tools.create_simulator_controller_connections - now deals with the case of 1 controller.

v0.13.1

Fixed

• Fix init files.

v0.13.0

Added

• Multi-user Tools - A subpackage that allows several users to work simultaneously.
• Config.helper_tools - This package includes tools for writing and updating the configuration.
• Plot.fitting - This tool enables the use to fit results from qua programs.
• Bakery - Added a flag to disable the addition of an align to the run function.

Changed

• Plot.plots - Added functions to plot results from qua programs (plot_demodulated_data 1D and 2D, get_simulated_samples_by_element and plot_simulator_output)
• Bakery - Now uses the more efficient frame_rotation_2pi instead of frame_rotation.

Fixed

• Bakery - Fixed cases in which a frame_rotation_2pi(0.0) was added .
