QCoDeS 0.47.0 (2024-08-07)

Breaking Changes:

This release supports Python 3.10 and later.

Improved Drivers:

  • Fixed the Harvard DecaDAC range not including the highest bit. (#6076)

  • Fixed Keysight 34465A DMM firmware version parsing. (#6076)

  • Fixed Oxford Instruments Triton section parsing. (#6076)

  • The long deprecated aliases to channels on MiniCircuits UsbSPDT drivers have been removed. This means that channel_a should be replaced by a and so on in any call to this driver. (#6207)

  • Added power output parameters to LakeShore335 driver, allowing configuration of the maximum heater current. (#6248)

  • Added input coupling and impedance parameters for channels in the Keysight Infiniium oscilloscope driver. (#6293)

  • Added ‘offset’ parameter to Tektronix AWG Channels. (#6303)

  • The qcodes.instrument_drivers.american_magnetics.AMIModel430 driver can now be snapshotted with the heater missing or not enabled without triggering warnings. Furthermore confusing aliases for parameters on the switch module have been deprecated since use of these would lead to incorrect state of the parameters. The aliases qcodes.instrument_drivers.american_magnetics.AMI_430_visa.AMI430_3D and qcodes.instrument_drivers.american_magnetics.AMI_430_visa.AMI430 have been deprecated. (#6306)

  • Add setpoint ramp rate parameters to LakeShore335 driver, this allows to configure the setpoint ramp rate. (#6322)

  • Add setpoint ramp status parameter to LakeShore335 driver, this allows to monitor a ongoing setpoint ramp. (#6322)

Other Changes:

  • Improved error handling when checking experiment IDs in the experiment list. (#6305)
