OCTOPUX: An Automated Testing Setup

OCTOPUX
An Automated Setup for Testing Superconductor Circuits


[octopux

Octopux is automated setup for testing RSFQ and other superconductor circuits. It has been designed, implemented and is heavily used in the Laboratory of Cryoelectronics, SUNY at Stony Brook, USA.

The setup consists of the hardware part (Dr. Yury Polyakov) and a suite of Linux-based programs (Dr. Dmitry Zinoviev): Layered 
Structure

O Octopux data acquisition engine itself with a built-in XLisp interpreter. Here are some Octopux and XLisp resources available from this and other servers:

O Device Drivers. This includes Linux drivers of the following hardware:

O Octoscope -- digital oscilloscope emulator. Have a look at the screen shot of it. One more screen shot displays both time- and frequency-domain operations. [New!]

O QuiDVis 
screenshot QuiDVis -- Quick Data Visualizer, a universal 2D plotting program with an interface library. Have a look at a screen shot! [New!]

The first public distribution of QuiDVis will be made available in the nearest future.

Fastplot, the predecessor of QuiDVis, has been used with Octopux for some time. Here is a screen shot of Fastplot displaying the digital operation of an RSFQ autocorrelator. [New!]
