Example Q3: Managing the Filter Pipeline

This example notebook shows how to use the PipelineManager to modify the signal processing on qubit data.

We initialize a slightly more advanced channel library:


In [1]:
from QGL import *

cl = ChannelLibrary(db_resource_name=":memory:")

# Create five qubits and supporting hardware
for i in range(5):
    q1 = cl.new_qubit(f"q{i}")
    cl.new_APS2(f"BBNAPS2-{2*i+1}", address=f"192.168.5.{101+2*i}") 
    cl.new_APS2(f"BBNAPS2-{2*i+2}", address=f"192.168.5.{102+2*i}")
    cl.new_X6(f"X6_{i}", address=0)
    cl.new_source(f"Holz{2*i+1}", "HolzworthHS9000", f"HS9004A-009-{2*i}", power=-30)
    cl.new_source(f"Holz{2*i+2}", "HolzworthHS9000", f"HS9004A-009-{2*i+1}", power=-30) 
    cl.set_control(cl[f"q{i}"], cl[f"BBNAPS2-{2*i+1}"], generator=cl[f"Holz{2*i+1}"])
    cl.set_measure(cl[f"q{i}"], cl[f"BBNAPS2-{2*i+2}"], cl[f"X6_{i}"][1], generator=cl[f"Holz{2*i+2}"])

cl.set_master(cl["BBNAPS2-1"], cl["BBNAPS2-1"].ch("m2"))
cl.commit()


AWG_DIR environment variable not defined. Unless otherwise specified, using temporary directory for AWG sequence file outputs.

Creating the Default Filter Pipeline


In [2]:
from auspex.qubit import *


auspex-WARNING: 2019-04-04 13:38:24,127 ----> You may not have the libusb backend: please install it!
auspex-WARNING: 2019-04-04 13:38:24,298 ----> Could not load channelizer library; falling back to python methods.

The PipelineManager is analogous to the ChannelLibrary insomuchas it provides the user with an interface to programmatically modify the filter pipeline, and to save and load different versions of the pipeline.


In [3]:
pl = PipelineManager()


auspex-INFO: 2019-04-04 13:38:24,641 ----> Could not find an existing pipeline. Please create one.

Pipelines are fairly predictable, and will provide some subset of the functionality of demodulating, integrating, average, and writing to file. Some of these can be done on hardware, some in software. The PipelineManager can guess what the user wants for a particular qubit by inspecting which equipment has been assigned to it using the set_measure command for the ChannelLibrary. For example, this ChannelLibrary has defined X6-1000M cards for readout, and the description of this instrument indicates that the highest level available stream is integrated. Thus, the PipelineManager automatically inserts the remaining averager and writer.


In [ ]:
pl.create_default_pipeline()
pl.show_pipeline()

Sometimes, for debugging purposes, one may wish to add multiple pipelines per qubit. Additional pipelines can be added explicitly by running:


In [ ]:
pl.add_qubit_pipeline("q1", "demodulated")
pl.show_pipeline()


In [6]:
pl.ls()

We can print the properties of a single node


In [9]:
pl["q1 integrated"].print()

stream_typeintegrated
dsp_channel1
if_freq0.0
kernel_dataBinary Data of length 1024
kernel_bias0.0
threshold0.0
threshold_invertFalse

We can print the properties of individual filters or subgraphs:


In [10]:
pl.print("q1 integrated")

Dictionary access is provided to allow drilling down into the pipelines. One can use the specific label of a filter or simple its type in this access mode:


In [11]:
pl["q1 integrated"]["Average"]["Write"].filename = "new.h5"
pl.print("q1 integrated")

Here uncommitted changes are shown. This can be rectified in the standard way:

Programmatic Modification of the Pipeline

Some simple convenience functions allow the use to easily specify complex pipeline structures.


In [13]:
pl.commit()
pl.save_as("simple")
pl["q1 demodulated"].clear_pipeline()
pl["q1 demodulated"].stream_type = "raw"
pl.recreate_pipeline()
# pl["q1"]["blub"].show_pipeline()

In [ ]:
pl.show_pipeline()

Note the name change. We refer to the pipeline by the stream type of the first element.


In [ ]:
pl["q1 raw"].show_pipeline()


In [ ]:
pl["q1 raw"].add(Display(label="Raw Plot"))
pl["q1 raw"]["Demodulate"].add(Average(label="Demod Average")).add(Display(label="Demod Plot"))
pl.show_pipeline()

As with the ChannelLibrary we can list save, list, and load versions of the filter pipeline.


In [17]:
pl.session.commit()
pl.save_as("custom")
pl.ls()

Pipeline examples:

Below are some examples of how more complicated pipelines can be constructed. Defining these as functions allows for quickly changing the structure of the data pipeline depending on the experiment being done. It also improves reproducibility and documents pipeline parameters. For example, to change the pipeline and check its construction,

pl = create_tomo_pipeline(save_rr=True)
pl.show_pipeline()

Hopefully the examples below will show you some of the more advanced things that can be done with the data pipelines in Auspex.
