First commit providing a driver with a working sweeper. Needs refactorising the sweeper into a MultiParameter
Change the sweep from a normal instrument method into a MultiParameter Breaking Changes: execute_sweep no longer exists. All sweep data goes through the Sweep parameter.

@WilliamHPNielsen . We are testing a new piece of hardware from ZI that is based on the UHF-LI. We are using alpha version firmware so I expect the driver to change a lot. Nonetheless, Niels Bultink has implemented a way to auto generate the qcodes driver based on the ZI API. I think we probably have some useful snippets for you in our repo: https://github.com/DiCarloLab-Delft/PycQED_py3/tree/2Q_gates_branch/pycqed/instrument_drivers/physical_instruments/ZurichInstruments . I'd be curious to know what you think of it. |
Tidy code and remove whitespace
Add an example notebook explaining how to use the sweeper.
Correct the multiply-defined dict keys of the demodulator trigger.

@giulioungaretti Boy better know! But actually, Jana promised to practice her git-fu by removing it before anyone saw it...
Finish Sigout parameters and start adding scope parameters.
To be cleaned later
Add a get function to the scope multiparameter and document this in the notebook.
Update the scope setpoints with reference and delay values.
Adjust the setpoints of the scope to match the expectations of the loop.

mmhm ? if it must be five why it's an argument ?

does this really really work as expected ? @WilliamHPNielsen thinking about late binding of lambdas

It does, we double checked.
