qiskit.pulse.Instruction
class Instruction(operands, duration, channels, name=None)
The smallest schedulable unit: a single instruction. It has a fixed duration and specified channels.
Instruction initializer.
Parameters
- operands (
Tuple) – The argument list. - duration (
int) – Length of time taken by the instruction in terms of dt. - channels (
Tuple[Channel]) – Tuple of pulse channels that this instruction operates on. - name (
Optional[str]) – Optional display name for this instruction.
Raises
- PulseError – If duration is negative.
- PulseError – If the input
channelsare not all of typeChannel.
__init__
__init__(operands, duration, channels, name=None)
Instruction initializer.
Parameters
- operands (
Tuple) – The argument list. - duration (
int) – Length of time taken by the instruction in terms of dt. - channels (
Tuple[Channel]) – Tuple of pulse channels that this instruction operates on. - name (
Optional[str]) – Optional display name for this instruction.
Raises
- PulseError – If duration is negative.
- PulseError – If the input
channelsare not all of typeChannel.

- schedule (
ScheduleComponent) – schedule to be appended - name (
Optional[str]) – Name of the new schedule. Defaults to name of self
Return type
Schedule
assign_parameters
assign_parameters(value_dict)
Modify and return self with parameters assigned according to the input.
Parameters
value_dict (Dict[ParameterExpression, Union[ParameterExpression, float, int]]) – A mapping from Parameters to either numeric values or another Parameter expression.

command
The associated command. Commands are deprecated, so this method will be deprecated shortly.
Returns
The deprecated command if available.
Return type
draw
draw(dt=1, style=None, filename=None, interp_method=None, scale=1, plot_all=False, plot_range=None, interactive=False, table=True, label=False, framechange=True, channels=None)
Plot the instruction.
Parameters

float) – Relative visual scaling of waveform amplitudes - plot_all (
bool) – Plot empty channels - plot_range (
Optional[Tuple[float]]) – A tuple of time range to plot - interactive (
bool) – When set true show the circuit in a new window (this depends on the matplotlib backend being used supporting this) - table (
bool) – Draw event table for supported instructions - label (
bool) – Label individual instructions - framechange (
bool) – Add framechange indicators - channels (
Optional[List[Channel]]) – A list of channel names to plot
