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. The paper is published in Rev. Sci. Instrum. here.

Basic tutorials

System Requirements

Installations

Hardware Setup

Using the Pulser in a simple fixed frequency mode.

Integrating with LabVIEW. Please go here to download relevant sub-VIs first. (It's also a very nice read).

More advanced functionality

Using the Pulser in a pulse sequence mode.

Technical details about frequency and amplitude ramping.

Triggering the start of the pulse sequence externally.

Moving lattice functionality.

Going through the code

Understanding the pulser server.

Talking directly to the OK FPGA module.

Other useful information

FAQ

List of things to fix in the next version.

Pins configuration of the OK FPGA.

Pictures of DDS setups around the world.

Useful links

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.

Repo for running an optical lattice clock (Hg clock at RIKEN)

Repo for setting up a new experiment based on Berkeley's structure (UCLA)

Repo of UC Berkeley's ion trapping experiment (Hartmut's group at UC Berkeley)

Page of John Martinis' group. The origin of LabRAD (UC, Santa Barbara)
