InstroAWG#

Bases: Instrument

AWG instrument. Methods return Measurement/Command for publishing.

Initialize an InstroAWG. Provide either config or driver/num_channels together, not both.

Attributes

`background_interval`	Seconds between background daemon iterations (0 = no wait).
`channel_names`	Return an insertion-ordered snapshot of all published channel names.

Methods

`align_phase`	Sync the phase of all channels.
`burst_enable`	Enable or disable burst mode on the given channel.
`close`	Close the underlying driver.
`convert_amplitude`	Convert an amplitude value between units using channel's configured waveform.
`define_background_daemon`	Replace all daemon functions with a single `method` (called with the given args).
