v0.4.1

Small maintenance release to enable usage of newer versions of numpy.

Change Log

Versioning Changes

• Python-quantities has been updated to work with numpy 1.13, and so now we require quantities>=0.12.1 to ensure we're using the fixed version
• Versioning lock on numpy has been removed, so you can now use numpy>=1.13.0 if you so desire!

New Features

None

Bugfixes

None

v0.4.0

This release features several new developer tools, expanded yaml support, Py36 support, some package version freezing, and a few bugfixes

Change Log

Versioning Changes

• Python 3.6 is now supported, and support for Python 3.3 has been dropped as numpy>=1.12.0 does not support Py33 #170
• pylint frozen to 1.7.1 #165
• numpy<1.13.0 to address an issue with pyquantities (python-quantities/python-quantities#129). It looks like they have finally addressed the issue, so a follow-up IK release will relax this constraint.

New Features

YAML
With the switch from PyYAML to ruamel.yaml==0.14.12, our yaml configuation ability has been expanded:

• Can now specify a file-like object for config.load_instruments in addition to the previous ability to provide a filename #164
• In the yaml file, instruments can directly have properties set, which are then immediately applied. See documentation for config.load_instruments.

New Developer Tools

• Added support for named structs to help with (un)packing data to/from instruments communicating in a more binary fashion #169
• Added set_cmd parameter to all property factories and rename name parameter to command #172. This allows instruments with asymetric command schemes to still utilize the property factory tools.

Bugfixes

• Timeout and terminator were fixed for USBTMC connections #173
• Fixed write_raw for VISA connections #177, however the VISACommunicator has no tests, so more issues probably exist.

v0.3.1

This release is just a single bug fix.

Change Log

Bugfixes

• Fix for pyvisa version checking. This will later be ripped out and replaced with something more robust, or support for the old protocol will be dropped entirely.

v0.3.0

This release adds support for two additional instruments, the Ondax LM1 and Qubitekk MC1.

Change Log

New Features

New Instruments

• Ondax LM1, via instruments.Ondax.LM1
• Qubitekk MC1, via instruments.Qubitekk.MC1

Bugfixes
