pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control module

class pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control.APT_Exp_Control(variables, conf, experiment_finished_event, x_plot, y_plot, t_plot, main_v_dc_plot)[source]

Bases: object

This class is responsible for controlling the experiment.

clear_up()[source]

Clear class variables, deinitialize high voltage and pulser, and reset variables.

This method performs the cleanup operations at the end of the experiment. It turns off the high voltage, pulser, and signal generator, resets global variables, and performs other cleanup tasks.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

None

initialize_detector_process()[source]

Initialize the detector process based on the configured settings.

This method initializes the necessary queues and processes for data acquisition based on the configured settings.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

None

main_ex_loop()[source]

Execute main experiment loop.

This method contains all methods that iteratively run to control the experiment. It reads the number of detected ions, calculates the error of the desired rate, and regulates the high voltage and pulser accordingly.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

None

precise_sleep(seconds)[source]

Precise sleep function.

Parameters:

seconds – Seconds to sleep

Returns:

None

run_experiment()[source]

Run the main experiment.

This method initializes devices, starts the experiment loop, monitors various criteria, and manages experiment stop conditions and data storage.

Returns:

None

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control.run_experiment(variables, conf, experiment_finished_event, x_plot, y_plot, t_plot, main_v_dc_plot)[source]

Run the main experiment.

Parameters:

  • variables – Global variables

  • conf – Configuration dictionary

  • experiment_finished_event – Event to signal the end of the experiment

  • x_plot – Array to store x data

  • y_plot – Array to store y data

  • t_plot – Array to store t data

  • main_v_dc_plot – Array to store main_v_dc data

Returns:

None

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func module

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func.command_v_dc(com_port_v_dc, cmd)[source]

Send commands to the high voltage parameter: v_dc.

This method sends commands to the V_dc source over the COM port and reads the response.

Parameters:

  • com_port_v_dc (serial.Serial) – The COM port object for the V_dc source.

  • cmd (str) – The command to send.

Returns:

The response received from the device.

Return type:

str

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func.command_v_p(com_port_v_p, cmd)[source]

Send commands to the pulser.

This method sends commands to the pulser over the COM port and reads the response.

Parameters:

  • com_port_v_p (serial.Serial) – The COM port object for the pulser.

  • cmd (str) – The command to send.

Returns:

The response received from the device.

Return type:

str

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func.initialization_signal_generator(variables, log_apt)[source]

Initialize the signal generator.

Parameters:

  • signal_generator – The class object of the SignalGenerator class.

  • variables – The class object of the Variables class.

  • log_apt – The logger object.

Returns:

The boolean flag to indicate if the initialization is successful.

Return type:

initialization_error

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func.initialization_v_dc(com_port_v_dc, log_apt, variables)[source]

Initialize the high voltage.

Parameters:

  • com_port_v_dc – The COM port object for the high voltage.

  • log_apt – The logger object.

  • variables – The class object of the Variables class.

Returns:

The boolean flag to indicate if the initialization is successful.

Return type:

initialization_error

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func.initialization_v_p(com_port_v_p, log_apt, variables)[source]

Initialize the pulser.

Parameters:

  • com_port_v_p – The COM port object for the pulser.

  • log_apt – The logger object.

  • variables – The class object of the Variables class.

Returns:

The boolean flag to indicate if the initialization is successful.

Return type:

initialization_error

pyccapt.control.apt.apt_exp_control_func.send_info_email(log_apt, variables)[source]

Send the information email.

Parameters:

  • log_apt – The logger object.

  • variables – The class object of the Variables class.

Returns:

None
