QCoDeS/Qcodes: QCoDeS 0.36.0

Published November 30, 2022 | Version v0.36.0

Software Open

QCoDeS 0.36.0 (2022-11-29) Breaking Changes:

The test_intrument and test_intruments functions are no longer available from the toplevel qcodes namespace. If you require these functions they must be imported from qcodes.instrument_drivers.test. (#461`)
The deprecated imports of Loop, Measure and members of qcodes.data in the toplevel QCoDeS namespace has been removed. (#4674)
Explicitly setting a sample id in the qcodesrc.json config file has been deprecated. This feature is expected to be very lightly used. Please do get in touch if you rely on it. This will eventually be replaced by a random string. For the same reason load_by_run_spec will no longer print sample_id as part of the output when more than one potential match is found. Note that this is different from the sample_name set as part of an experiment which is still supported. (#4763)

Improved:

The sweeps used by doNd has gained the ability to perform a get call after setting the parameter and storing that value in the dataset rather than the value set. (#4759)
plot_dataset will now correctly wrap long titles into multiple lines. (#4770)
Keithley calibration: adjust calibration date before saving new calibration (#4779)
Visa insturments have gained the pyvisa_sim_file argument. This allows easier instantiation of simulated visainstrments in tests (both in QCoDeS and external) as well as use of simulated instruments in station yaml files. (#4790)
dond functions now return the dataset after KeyboardInterrupt or BreakConditionInterrupt. Instead of raising the interrupts, they are now logged as warning. (#4801)
The function qcodes.dataset.load_from_netcdf now always perservers order of the dependent coordinates when loading a netcdf file into memory. (#4802)
Add rundescriber_from_json to dataset public API for materializing RunDescriber objects from json strings (#4811)
Add RunDescriber, InterDependencies_, ParamSpecTree to dataset public API (#4816)
All public methods avilable in qcodes.dataset that takes a path to a db or data file now accepts a pathlib.Path object in addition to a str. (#4818)

New:

Add a callback to dataset.get_parameter_data. This is usefull to track the progress of the data download. Since sqlite3 does not allow to keep track of the data loading progress, we compute how many sqlite requests correspond to a certain percentage of progress which is dictated by a config parameter "callback_percent". Then we perform x sql request instead of one, running the callback everytime. (#4688)
