The Ports tab (see LabOne UI: Ports tab)
is divided into two sections: The ZSync ports and two sub-tabs for
Control and Trigger.
The QHub is always used in conjunction with other Zurich Instruments devices in a larger system, e.g. a Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS). The purpose of the Ports tab is to allow the user to understand the current state of the complete system at first glance. The main elements are the 56 ports, organized in four sub-tabs, where the user can see information about the status and health of each connection and can reset the connection. Furthermore the user can start the sending of the triggers and control the repetitions and the holdoff of the triggers.
Indicates the availability of the instrument connected to the port. Off: no Instrument detected. Yellow: connection to an instrument is in progress. Blue: connection to an instrument is ready or data is being sent to / received from an instrument. Red: an error has occurred on the connection to an instrument.

Holdoff
time in seconds
Sets the time between repeated triggers sent over ZSync ports.
Progress
