Detailed Documentation

class labscript_devices.PineBlaster.PineBlaster(name, trigger_device=None, trigger_connection=None, usbport='COM1')[source]

Bases: PseudoclockDevice

Instantiates a pseudoclock device.

Parameters:

name (str) – python variable to assign to this device.
trigger_device (DigitalOut) – Sets the parent triggering output. If None, this is considered the master pseudoclock.
trigger_connection (str, optional) – Must be provided if trigger_device is provided. Specifies the channel of the parent device.
**kwargs – Passed to TriggerableDevice.__init__().

add_device(device)[source]

Adds a child device to this device.

Parameters:: device (Device) – Device to add.
Raises:: LabscriptError – If device is not an allowed child of this device.

allowed_children = [<class 'labscript_devices.PineBlaster.PineBlasterPseudoclock'>]

Defines types of devices that are allowed to be children of this device.

Type:: list

clock_limit = 10000000.0

clock_resolution = 2.5e-08

clock_type = 'fast clock'

property clockline

description = 'PineBlaster': Brief description of the device.

generate_code(hdf5_file)[source]

Generate hardware instructions for device and children, then save to h5 file.

Will recursively call generate_code for all children devices.

Parameters:: hdf5_file (h5py.File) – Handle to shot file.

max_instructions = 15000

pseudoclock_device (PseudoclockDevice) – Parent pseudoclock device
connection (str) – Connection on this device that links to parent
**kwargs – Passed to Device().

add_device(device)[source]

Adds a child device to this device.

Parameters:: device (Device) – Device to add.
Raises:: LabscriptError – If device is not an allowed child of this device.
