Duration Sweepers
rodolfocarobene opened this issue · 2 comments
Hello everyone, is it possible to do hardware sweepers on durations?
I understand this is not trivial because something like that would also change the waveforms, but a possible solution could be to load all the waveforms in initialize() and then call them "iteratively".
Is this something that is currently possible or the only option is python loops?
Also, different question always regarding sweepers, I saw in the documentation that is possible to call a register for adc_freq. Is this something that can be used for readout frequency sweepers?
As alwyas, thanks a lot for your help and your work
To be clear, you are talking about sweeping the duration of arbitrary-waveform pulses? Correct, that's basically not possible, but certainly you could load a bunch of waveforms as you suggest.
Yes, it's possible to define a QickRegister for ADC frequency, but that is a software object which is only useful if you use a firmware with tProc-controlled readouts. Such a firmware is capable of frequency sweeps, but there are tradeoffs and this is not part of the standard firmware.
Ok, thanks as usual for the explanation!
