QCoDeS [UNRELEASED DRAFT] (2025-04-24)

Breaking Changes:

  • QCoDeS has dropped support for python 3.10. QCoDeS now supports Python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13. (#7038)

Improved:

  • The implementation of do0d and do1d have been replaced with a wrapper around dond. This aligns the keyword arguments with dond and ensures that these function support the same features as dond. The same change is planned for do2d in the future. (#7065)

Improved Drivers:

  • The Keysight 344xxA drivers have been updated to ensure that NPLC, autorange, autozero, apature_time and `apature_mode parameters use the correct instrument commends for the sense mode selected by the sense_function parameter. (#6723)

New:

  • InstrumentBase.add_submodule now returns the added submodule. This similar to changes made in add_parameter earlier. This makes it possible to assign this to an attribute which enables static code checkers, IDEs and documentation to discover submodules. The Galil drivers have been updated to make use of this. Consult the Galil driver or Creating-Instrument-Drivers notebook for examples of how to use this. It is planed that QCoDeS in the future will ship with a tool to automatically perform this refactor and updates to all included drivers. (#7017)
