PulseShape is an EasySpin pulse function clone written in python. The major purpose for
rewriting pulse in Python is to free the function from the proprietary MATLAB universe and
make it easier to use on Linux systems that often ship with e580 spectrometers.
PulseShape is built around the Pulse object which accepts arguments similar to those
used by the easyspin pulse function.
PulseShape can be installed and updated using pip, the python package manager.
pip install PulseShapePulseShape is tested to work on Python 3.6-3.9. While one of the major purposes of PulseShape is to work on Linux systems, PulseShape works well on all systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and only depends on numpy and scipy.
Alternatively, PulseShape can be installed by downloading or cloning the git repository.
git clone https://gitlab.com/StollLab/PulseShape.git
cd PulseShape
python setup.py installInstructions for setting up Python and PulseShape on the Linux system that usually ships with e580 spectrometers coming soon.
All time, IQ, other parameters and data are stored within the Pulse object itself so it's easy to work with multiple pulses
