measureSequences

Tools for an abstract sequence editor, parser and runner

Main Functions

• The Sequence_parser in Sequence_parsing.py can read PPMS (measurements: resistivity only) sequence files.

• The Sequence_runner in runSequences.py contains all logic to run those sequences - however, this must be inherited: There are many functions which need to be overridden or injected in order to - function properly.

  • A demonstration printing-dummy class can be found in Dummy.py.

• The Sequence_builder in Sequence_editor.py can display the parsed sequences. There exists a start of classes and functions tfor actually editing and building sequences, they are however woefully incomplete, feel free to contribute here!

Features/Behaviour

• Most of the generic commands are implemented.
• It is possible to read arbitrarily nested scanning commands.
• Empty lines are ignored.
• In contrast to the logic in the PPMS, when chaining an additional sequence, after the completion of the chained sequence, the mother-sequence continues after the chain_sequence command (multiple nesting allowed too).
• Saving a serialised version of the parsed sequence will write a pickled object and a json file, containing a list with all commands (dictionaries). No reasonable sequences can be written so far, using MultiVu is recommended.

Most of the running functionality has not yet been tested -- use at your own risk!

Missing functionality in running Sequences is partially documented in issues on GitHub.
