Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.5.0 renamed many functions and removed deprecated aliases. Older imports like from zhinst.utils import lockin will fail.

fix

Update imports to current API: from zhinst.utils import get_zi_device, etc.

affects: >=0.5.0

deprecatedThe function `zhinst.utils.get_zi_devices()` is deprecated in favor of `zhinst.utils.discover_devices()`.

fix

Use `discover_devices()` instead.

affects: >=0.6.0

gotchaThe package does not install zhinst-core automatically; you must install it separately.

fix

Run `pip install zhinst-core` or use `pip install zhinst-utils[all]`.

affects: all
