Installation

Pulse_lib

Clone the sources of Pulse_lib from GitHub.

pip install ./pulse_lib

or

python3 setup.py install

Pulse_lib uses the packages qcodes and qcodes_contrib_drivers.

Keysight PXI

To use pulse_lib with Keysight M3202A AWG and M3102A digitizer you have to install:

• Keysight SD1 software
• Keysight FPGA Test Sync Executive
• Git clone hvi2-script branch SD1_3.1
• Git clone core tools

The core tools package contains the HVI2 schedules required to trigger the AWGs and digitzers. It contains the schedules for video mode and single shot measurements.

The core tools package also contains a driver for the M3102A digitizer.

Tektronix AWG5014

No additional software is needed to use pulse_lib with AWG5014.

A schedule to use AWG5014 with Spectrum M4i digitizer and Zurich Instruments UHFLI is included in pulse_lib.

Qblox Pulsar QCM and QRM

Note: Support for Qblox is still in development on a separate branch of pulse_lib.

To use pulse_lib with Qblox you have to install:

• package qblox_instruments (available on PyPi)
• `Q1Pulse<https://github.com/sldesnoo-Delft/q1pulse>`_

QuTech QuantumSequencer

The QuantumSequencer uses QuTech developed FPGA images for Keysight M3202A and M3102A.
