Parameters

The widget 'Parameters' shows a list of all parameters of the system. All these parameters can be used in the Parameter system to use them as variables in text input fields.

By right-click on a variable you can copy a parameter, including curly brackets if needed.

All parameters can be filtered by entering strings that the searched for parameters should contain. The filter strings can make use of regular expressions.

Parameter types

System parameters

SweepMe! adds parameters such as datapath, profile, folder, time parameters like d, m, y, filename and run_index as they are needed e.g. to create some custom save paths and data file names including timestamps.

Measurement variables

Variables returned by each modules added to the Parameter system based on the module label, the variable and the unit. They are concatenated with an underscore. For example, the elapsed time of the Time module translates into the parameter key 'Time_elapsed_s'. These parameters represent measurement variables that are acquired during a measurement point and returned at the end of a measurment point.

Sweep state parameters

Each module furthers adds information about is sweep state, for example, the current set value which is named '<module label>_SweepValue' and the index of the set value step named '<module label>_SweepIndex' (starting from 1). Further, the parameter '<module label>_is_active' is a boolean indicating whether the module is currently in an active branch.
