Instruction

class Instruction(operands, duration=None, channels=None, name=None)

Bases: abc.ABC

The smallest schedulable unit: a single instruction. It has a fixed duration and specified channels.

Instruction initializer.

Parameters

• operands (Tuple) – The argument list.

• duration (Optional[int]) – Deprecated.

• channels (Optional[Tuple[Channel]]) – Deprecated.

• name (Optional[str]) – Optional display name for this instruction.

Raises

• PulseError – If duration is negative.

• PulseError – If the input channels are not all of type Channel.

Methods

append	Return a new Schedule with schedule inserted at the maximum time over all channels shared between self and schedule.
assign_parameters	Modify and return self with parameters assigned according to the input.
ch_duration	Return duration of the supplied channels in this Instruction.
ch_start_time	Return minimum start time for supplied channels.
ch_stop_time	Return maximum start time for supplied channels.
draw	Plot the instruction.
flatten	Return itself as already single instruction.
insert	Return a new Schedule with schedule inserted within self at start_time.
is_parameterized	Return True iff the instruction is parameterized.
shift	Return a new schedule shifted forward by time.
