Devices

Here is a list of all the currently supported devices.

Pseudoclocks

Pseudoclocks provide the timing backbone of the labscript_suite. These devices produce hardware-timed clocklines that trigger other device outputs and acquisitions. Many pseudoclock devices also include other types of outputs, including digital voltage and DDS frequency synthesizers.

NI DAQS

The NI_DAQmx device provides a generic interface for National Instruments data acquisition hardware. This includes digital and analog voltage I/O. These input/outputs can be either static or hardware-timed dynamically changing variables.

Cameras

The camera devices provide interfaces for using various scientific cameras to acquire hardware-timed images during an experiment. They are organized by the programming API the underlies the communication to the device. The “master” camera class which provides the core functionality and from which the others derive is the IMAQdx class.

Frequency Sources

These devices cover various frequency sources that provide either hardware-timed frequency, amplitude, or phase updates or static frequency outputs.

Miscellaneous

These devices cover other types of devices.

Other

These devices provide dummy instruments for prototyping and testing purposes of the rest of the labscript_suite as well as the FunctionRunner device which can run arbitrary code post-shot.
