QCoDeS 0.47.0 (2024-08-07)

Breaking Changes:

This release supports Python 3.10 and later.

Improved Drivers:

• Fixed the Harvard DecaDAC range not including the highest bit. Driver bugfixes [Needs testing Keysight 34465 and Triton 450] #6076
• Fixed Keysight 34465A DMM firmware version parsing. Driver bugfixes [Needs testing Keysight 34465 and Triton 450] #6076
• Fixed Oxford Instruments Triton section parsing. Driver bugfixes [Needs testing Keysight 34465 and Triton 450] #6076
• The long deprecated aliases to channels on MiniCircuits UsbSPDT drivers have been removed. This means that channel_a should be replaced by a and so on in any call to this driver. Remove deprecated channel aliases MiniCircuitsUsbSPDT drivers #6207
• Added power output parameters to LakeShore335 driver, allowing configuration of the maximum heater current. LakeShore335: add power output parameters #6248
• Added input coupling and impedance parameters for channels in the Keysight Infiniium oscilloscope driver. Keysight Infiniium: feat: add input (coupling & impedance) for channels #6293
• Added 'offset' parameter to Tektronix AWG Channels. Add 'offset' parameter to Tektronix AWG Channels #6303
• The qcodes.instrument_drivers.american_magnetics.AMIModel430 driver can now be snapshotted with the heater missing or not enabled
  without triggering warnings. Furthermore confusing aliases for parameters on the switch module have been deprecated since use of these would
  lead to incorrect state of the parameters.
  The aliases qcodes.instrument_drivers.american_magnetics.AMI_430_visa.AMI430_3D and qcodes.instrument_drivers.american_magnetics.AMI_430_visa.AMI430
  have been deprecated. AMI430 cleanup #6306
• Add setpoint ramp rate parameters to LakeShore335 driver,
  this allows to configure the setpoint ramp rate. LakeShore335: Add setpoint ramp parameters #6322
• Add setpoint ramp status parameter to LakeShore335 driver,
  this allows to monitor a ongoing setpoint ramp. LakeShore335: Add setpoint ramp parameters #6322

Other Changes:

• Improved error handling when checking experiment IDs in the experiment list. Fix: Check exp_id in experiment list #6305
