Class Description

class atomiq.components.sinara.dac.ZotinoChannel(dac_device, channel, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: DACChannel

A single channel of a (possibly multichannel) DAC

A single channel of a DAC is a digitally controlled voltage source. Thus, this class inherits from VoltageSource.

Parameters:

• dac_device (DAC) -- the DAC the channel belongs to

• channel (TInt32) -- the number of the channel

ramp_voltage(duration, voltage_start, voltage_end, ramp_timestep=- 1.0, ramp_steps=- 1)

Ramp voltage over a given duration.

This method advances the timeline by duration

Parameters:

• duration (TFloat) -- ramp duration [s]

• voltage_start (TFloat) -- initial voltage [V]

• voltage_end (TFloat) -- end voltage [V]

• ramp_timestep (TFloat) --

• ramp_steps (TInt32) --

set_voltage(voltage)

Set the voltage delivered by the voltage source

Parameters:

voltage (TFloat) -- Voltage in V
