Hi, ARTIQ now uses the single concept of "dataset" to manage the data exchanged with experiments, which we discussed briefly during the last visit.
A dataset is created using the set_dataset() method of HasEnvironment, which takes a key/value pair. Its last arguments are flags that determine how the data is handled: * broadcast: the data is sent in real-time to the master, which dispatches it. set_dataset() returns a Notifier that can be used to mutate the dataset. * persist: the master should store the data on-disk (equivalent of a "parameter" in the previous API). Implies broadcast. * save: the data is saved into the local storage of the current run (which ends up archived as a HDF5 file). All combinations of those flags are supported. Datasets can be retrieved using the get_dataset() method. The local storage is searched first, followed by the master storage (which contains the broadcasted results from all experiments) if the key was not found. Any comments?
