This is a wiki page that describes the basic of the pulse sequencer (a.k.a. Pulser) that is developed by Thaned Pruttivarasin at Berkeley and now at RIKEN (Japan).

We are pleased to announce that we put a write-up that describes our system on ArXiv here.

A few labs use LabRAD for the whole experiment control (while this page only contains the functionality of the Pulser/DDS). So there are a few tutorial/WIKI pages on various things related to LabRAD. It's my hope to consolidate these in the near future.
