Release notes
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
unreleased [2.x]
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* The format of the influxdb pattern file is simplified. The procedure to
|
|
edit patterns is also changed to modifying the pattern file and calling:
|
|
``artiq_rpctool.py ::1 3248 call scan_patterns`` (or restarting the bridge)
|
|
The patterns can be converted to the new format using this code snippet::
|
|
|
|
from artiq.protocols import pyon
|
|
patterns = pyon.load_file("influxdb_patterns.pyon")
|
|
for p in patterns:
|
|
print(p)
|
|
* The "GUI" has been renamed the "dashboard".
|
|
* When flashing NIST boards, use "-m nist_qcX" or "-m nist_clock" instead of
|
|
just "-m qcX" or "-m clock" (#290).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unreleased [1.0rc3]
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* The HDF5 format has changed.
|
|
|
|
* The datasets are located in the HDF5 subgroup ``datasets``.
|
|
* Datasets are now stored without additional type conversions and annotations
|
|
from ARTIQ, trusting that h5py maps and converts types between HDF5 and
|
|
python/numpy "as expected".
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.0rc2
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* The CPU speed in the pipistrello gateware has been reduced from 83 1/3 MHz to
|
|
75 MHz. This will reduce the achievable sustained pulse rate and latency
|
|
accordingly. ISE was intermittently failing to meet timing (#341).
|
|
* set_dataset in broadcast mode no longer returns a Notifier. Mutating datasets
|
|
should be done with mutate_dataset instead (#345).
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.0rc1
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* Experiments (your code) should use ``from artiq.experiment import *``
|
|
(and not ``from artiq import *`` as previously)
|
|
* Core device flash storage has moved due to increased runtime size.
|
|
This requires reflashing the runtime and the flash storage filesystem image
|
|
or erase and rewrite its entries.
|
|
* ``RTIOCollisionError`` has been renamed to ``RTIOCollision``
|
|
* the new API for DDS batches is::
|
|
|
|
with self.core_dds.batch:
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
with ``core_dds`` a device of type ``artiq.coredevice.dds.CoreDDS``.
|
|
The dds_bus device should not be used anymore.
|
|
* LinearScan now supports scanning from high to low. Accordingly,
|
|
its arguments ``min/max`` have been renamed to ``start/stop`` respectively.
|
|
Same for RandomScan (even though there direction matters little).
