Hint hint

• Adding support for AFG1062, AFG3022
• Type hints across the module
• RuntimeError raised if set_custom_waveform is unable to verify the waveform
• Adding an attribute for _max_waveform_memory_user_locations and checking that the memory location is within this boundary when setting a new custom waveform
• The override_compatibility argument supports a string argument to select which model's limits to adopt
• Avoiding close on __del__ or __exit__ if the connection has already been closed
• Making a property out of _timeout and changing name to timeout

Arbitrary

An overhaul:

• Adding _ suggesting private methods and functions:
  • FuncGen methods
    • _check_pyvisa_status()
    • _initialise_model_properties()
    • _normalise_to_waveform()
    • _verify_waveform()
    • _check_arb_waveform_length()
    • _check_arb_waveform_type_and_range()
    • _impedance_dependent_limit()
    • _spawn_channel()
  • FuncGen attributes
    • _id
    • _inst
    • address -> _visa_address
    • _arbitrary_waveform_length
    • _arbitrary_waveform_resolution
    • _override_compatibility
    • _maker
    • _serial
    • _model
  • FuncGenChannel
    • _source
    • state_str -> _state_to_str
• Moving SI_prefix_to_factor() out of the class, now a private module function
• Moving to f""-strings from "".format()

Square

• Ensuring compatibility with pyvisa v11.1: (issue #2)
  • PYVISAs write() does not return the status code anymore, so the module is modified accordingly
  • not necessary to have an empty query after write_binary_values() in set_custom_waveform()
• Added check_pyvisa_status(), now checking status for both queries and writes
• Bug fixes for set_frequency() and set_offset() that were previously not taking into account the unit when calculating if it was within the limits

Sawtooth

• Added note about known issue with TekVISA
• Added more details about flat waveform offset through custom waveform workaround

Cosine

Non-compatible changes:

• Made SI_prefix_to_factor a staticmethod in FuncGen rather than module-level function

Other:

• Added note about DC/flat/constant waveform offset through custom waveform workaround

Sine

Non-compatible changes:

• More PEP8 compliant:
  • func_gen() -> FuncGen()
  • func_gen_channel() -> FuncGenChannel()
  • All lines < 100 characters (mostly < 80)
• No more enable/disable_frequency_lock(), now set_frequency_lock()
• Settings dictionary now contains tuples of value and unit, e.g. settings = {"amplitude": (3, "Vpp"), ..}

New features:

• Implemented set_settings() in both FuncGen and FuncGenChannel that takes a settings dictionary as input
• get/set_output() links to get/set_output_state()

Other:

• More examples
• Expanded README
