PJVS-driving-tool

Python program capable of properly driving a 13-bit Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard (PJVS) through the remote-control of four 4-channel arbitrary waveform generators (Active Technologies 1104) and a nanovoltmeter (Keithley 2182A). It consists of three main forms:

1. checking IV characteristics of each PJVS subsection;
2. quantization test;
3. quantum-based stepwise voltage synthesis.

Notes:

Active-Technologies provides 32-bit DLLs for their AWGs, hence also 32-bit Python version has to be employed.
