QCoDeS 0.25.0 - April 2021
Changelog for QCoDeS 0.25.0
The April 2021 release of QCoDeS.
Breaking Changes:
get_data_by_id
no longer returns data for standalone parameters if there are no dependent parameters in the dataset. For the same reasonplot_by_id
andplot_dataset
will no longer plot these standalone parameters. (#2918)xarray
exported data no longer exports extra metadata columns under theextra_metadata
tag since the extra dictionary level prevents exporting tonetcdf
(#2934)
Deprecation:
get_data_by_id
andget_shaped_data_by_runid
are now deprecated. These functions now all have better alternatives in the build inget_parameter_data
as well asXarray
andPandas
exporters. (#2921, #2925)
New:
- SP983c Basel IV amplifier remote control driver (#2707)
- Add support for Keysight 34411A (#2927)
- Added the functionality of getting guids from multiple run ids and directly from database (#2930)
- NumpyJSONEncoder: Add support for the uncertanties' UFloat type (#2933)
- Add conversion between qcodes legacy DataSet and xarray format (#2938)
Improved:
- plot_dataset: Improved performance by using in memory cache when possible to avoid reloading data from disk (#2918)
- contribution guidelines: remove no longer relevant sections and make the sections on naming somewhat less strict (#2937)
- remove double assignment of dataset variable in example notebook of Performing-measurements-using-qcodes-parameters-and-dataset (#2926)
- Update old driver notebooks (Agilent 34400A) docs (#2377)
- Update link from NI VISA to Keysight IO Libraries Suite on 'Getting Started' Doc (#2948)
- Removed ZI UHFLI notebook (#2893)
Improved drivers:
- Significant performance improvement in Tektronix5014 driver (#2910)
- AMI430 3D driver: allow instantiating from names of existing AMI430 instances, next to from AMI430 instances only driver (#2949)
- AMI430 3D driver: add docstring, extra test for initializing from AMI430 by name driver (#2951)
- Driver sr830 update: Add ChannelTrace class and related parameter ch{ch}_datatrace which makes buffered acquisition easier.(#2894)
Under the hood:
- Log sample_name, exp_name, dataset name when Measurement starts (#2952)
- Move private dataset export functions to their own module (#2904)
- Remove wait time test (#2935)
- fix(logger): Disable conditionally start logging for Sphinx documentation (#2909)
- Name legacy test datasets (#2950)
- use python -m pip to upgrade pip in github actions (#2955)
