microsoft/Qcodes: QCoDeS 0.53.0

Description

QCoDeS 0.53.0 (2025-06-16)

Breaking Changes:

  • QCoDeS has dropped support for python 3.10. QCoDeS now supports Python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13. #7038
  • The deprecated aliases to Lakeshore modules in qcodes.instrument_drivers.Lakeshore.lakeshore_base have been removed. The aliases to lakeshore drivers in qcodes.instrument_drivers.Lakeshore.Model_325, qcodes.instrument_drivers.Lakeshore.Model_336 and qcodes.instrument_drivers.Lakeshore.Model_372 have been removed. Please make sure that all Lakeshore related imports are from qcodes.instrument_drivers.Lakeshore avoiding any submodules. #7187

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

  • InstrumentLoggerAdapter now merges the extra dict from the log record with information inserted by the LoggerAdapter. This makes it possible to add additional information to a log message logged via the instruments log attribute e.g. myinst.visa_log.info("message", extra={"this": "that"}) #7186

  • qcodes.dataset.descriptions.detect_shapes and qcodes.dataset.dond.do_nd_utils have been updated to use parameter.register_name when creating shape dictionaries for storage in the dataset

    Previously, these methods used parameter.full_name which could result in shapes not being stored or used correctly for parameters that use parameter.register_name

    closes #7198 #7199

Improved Drivers:

  • The Keysight 344xxA drivers have been updated to ensure that NPLC, autorange, autozero, apature_time and ```apature_modeparameters use the correct instrument commends for the sense mode selected by thesense_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
