labscript_rp_asg

This project integrates the PYRPL Arbitrary Signal Generator (ASG) into the labscript suite, which is a control system for autonomous, hardware timed experiments. The project is used as ASG for controlling the set-point of an optical dipole trap in our Fermi gas experiment.

Notes:

• Two versions are available Python 3.7.5 & Python 2.7 (still running on the computer responsible for experimental control in the Fermi gas experiment)

red_pitaya_pyrpl_asg_python3.7.5

• Installation of labscript_suite February 2020 worked perfectly with Python=3.7.5 but not newest version Python=3.8.1

• Place user device 'red_pitaya_pyrpl_asg' folder in labscript_suite/userlib/user_devices folder to be able to import device to connection_table and shotfile

• The red_pitaya_pyrpl_asg relies on the PYRPL API, which has to be installed to be able to run it

PYRPL

• PYRPL API runs under python 3.7.5 as well as python 2.7
