TimeSegment

class TimeSegment(start, end, pulses)

Represents a time segment associated with a list of pulses.

A TimeSegment is a time interval that includes all pulses which are active throughout that interval. It is a read-only view that wraps a PulseList and provides additional metadata for plotting and simulation.

Initialize a time segment.

Parameters:

• start – Start time of the segment.

• end – End time of the segment.

• pulses – Active pulses corresponding to the segment.

Methods

append(new_pulse)	Appending a pulse is disabled for TimeSegment instances.
discretize_plot(function)	Discretize the time segment for plotting.
discretize_simulation(...[, n_eval, ...])	Discretize the time segment for simulation.
signal([driving_field_name])	Return the combined signal for this time segment.

Attributes

duration	Duration of the time segment.
end	End time of the segment.
is_all_constant_envelope	Check if all pulses have a constant envelope.
max_frequency	Maximal frequency of the time segment's pulses.
n_nonzero_frequencies	Number of unique non-zero frequencies in the segment.
n_pulses	Number of pulses in the segment.
plot	Cached plotting data for this segment; None until prepared.
simulation	Cached discretized simulation data for this segment; None until prepared.
start	Start time of the segment.
