pygsti.io.write_empty_dataset

pygsti.io.write_empty_dataset(filename, gatestring_list, headerString='## Columns = plus frequency, count total', numZeroCols=None, appendWeightsColumn=False)

Write an empty dataset file to be used as a template.

Parameters:
  • filename (string) – The filename to write.
  • gatestring_list (list of GateStrings) – List of gate strings to write, each to be followed by numZeroCols zeros.
  • headerString (string, optional) – Header string for the file; should start with a pound (#) or double-pound (##) so it is treated as a commend or directive, respectively.
  • numZeroCols (int, optional) – The number of zero columns to place after each gate string. If None, then headerString must begin with “## Columns = ” and number of zero columns will be inferred.
  • appendWeightsColumn (bool, optional) – Add an additional ‘weights’ column.
