I agree. The star imports are bad. In terms of recommendations I would go for `import artiq.language as aq; ...; @aq.kernel`. Along the lines of numpy and similar.

Yes. None of this works right now because of the compiler. My point is not about the compiler but about the recommended style. I didn't want to sidetrack this issue.

Correct. You are free to open and write files to do checkpointing whenever you want. The code that does the hdf5 file writing is here: https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/blob/master/artiq/master/worker_impl.py#L230 You should be able...

Yes. Or open the results file early (in `prepare()`) and expose the handle so that partial or intermediate things can be written without having to push all datasets.

One thing to check: we are seeing that (since the external ref clock now with Kasli 2 goes to the FPGA first and not the Si5324) even a slightly high...

I'm not sure. 10 dBm sounds high. The wiki may well be referring to v1.

Everybody should understand that continuous maintenance and improvements that keep ARTIQ up to date and aligned with the other project that we rely on and develop for is a must....

Using the hardware to pay for the software is definitely not optimal and comes with its own problems. I'm also undecided as to the best of the schemes proposed. Maybe...
