qcodes++ documentation
qcodes++ (aka qcodespp, qcpp, qc++) is a python package to run scientific experiments. qcodes++ is built on top of QCoDeS, both extending capabilities and preserving older features.
QCoDeS is a Python-based data acquisition framework developed by the Copenhagen / Delft / Sydney / Microsoft quantum computing consortium. It contains a huge range of drivers for communicating with instruments, and a flexible - but complex - database-based method for collecting data and running measurement loops.
The qcodes++ package provides a user-friendly frontend to the solid backend of QCoDeS. If you have always wanted to run your measurements using python but found QCoDeS too daunting, qcodes++ is the package for you. qcodes++ features
Text-based data (i.e. readable by e.g. notepad, excel, origin pro, etc)
A simple yet powerful method for taking data and running measurements and loops
True live plotting and an integrated offline plotting/analysis tool
Improvements to core qcodes functions (e.g. Station, Parameters) to streamline data acquisition, protect (meta)data integtrity and minimise user error
Improved drivers for certain instruments
and other user-friendliness improvements
The source code is available here, and the following documentation will guide you on how to quickly and easily start running measurements.
The name: In addition to being a really stupid pun on q(c++), it reflects the fact that really we just want to add some nice features to the main package, and also it makes me happy because totally coincidentally we have always named our plotting windows pp, e.g. pp = qc.live_plot().
