  • Parallel Operations and Independent Channel Control in ARTIQ

I have a couple of queries regarding the operation of ARTIQ. I would greatly appreciate your insights on the following:

  1. Non-Interruptive Signal Generation on Multiple Channels:

  2. I'm currently using Channel 1 of DDS (Urukul) to generate a 10MHz signal. I'm interested in altering or generating a signal on Channel 2 while ensuring that the signal on Channel 1 remains uninterrupted. However, I've noticed that resetting the core in ARTIQ often leads to brief interruptions in signal generation. Is there a way to independently control Channel 2 without affecting the ongoing signal on Channel 1?

  3. Parallel Processing Capabilities:

  4. This query is somewhat related to the first. Is it feasible to perform locking (feedback control) in parallel while conducting an experiment? For instance, in the SU-Servo mode, it appears possible to use a sampler (Sinara) for PID locking a signal. Can this locking be maintained consistently while simultaneously altering DDS settings, measuring other signal with Sinara, and performing other functions without any interruptions to the PID lock?

    I just want to know if those functions are possible and available. If anyone can also provide some reference, that would be amazing. Thank you!
