lightlab.laboratory.experiments module

This module contains tokens for experiments that use devices and instruments. This is useful to keep track of what is connected to what.

Summary

Classes:

Experiment	Experiment base class.
MasterExperiment	Does nothing except hold sub experiments to synchronize them.

Reference

class Experiment(instruments=None, devices=None, **kwargs)

Bases: lightlab.laboratory.virtualization.Virtualizable

Experiment base class.

This class is intended to be inherited by the user.

Usage:

experiment = Experiment()
with experiment.asVirtual():
    experiment.measure()  # measure is a DualFunction


# Quick tutorial on decorators:
with obj as foo:
    foo.something()

# this is equivalent to
foo = obj.__enter__()
foo.something()
obj.__exit__()

class MasterExperiment

Bases: lightlab.laboratory.virtualization.Virtualizable

Does nothing except hold sub experiments to synchronize them. This is purely a naming thing.
