This library includes tools to improve the users Octave experience.
This function will look into the calibration database and return the correction parameters (offsets and correction matrix) corresponding to a given set of intermediate frequency, Octave LO frequency and gain.
The correction parameters are returned in the format of a dictionary:
{'offsets': {'I': I_offset, 'Q': Q_offset},
'correction_matrix': (c00, c01, c10, c11)}
If no calibration parameters are found in the database, the function will either:
- return the dictionary with empty values (verbose_level 0)
- return the dictionary with empty values and print a warning in the Python console (verbose_level 1)
- raise an error and block the execution of the script (verbose_level 2)

verbose_level=1)This function will look into the calibration database and update the correction parameters in Python, (offsets and correction matrix) corresponding to a given set of intermediate frequency, Octave LO frequency and gain.
The goal to give the user the ability to easily update the correction parameters while sweeping the LO frequency in Python for instance.
The correction parameters are returned in the format of a dictionary:
{'offsets': {'I': I_offset, 'Q': Q_offset},
'correction_matrix': (c00, c01, c10, c11)}
If no calibration parameters are found in the database, the function will either:
- not update the parameters and return the dictionary with empty values (verbose_level 0)
- not update the parameters, return the dictionary with empty values and print a warning in the Python console (verbose_level 1)
- raise an error and block the execution of the script (verbose_level 2)

...Look in the calibration database for the calibration parameters corresponding to the provided set of LO
frequencies, intermediate frequencies and gain.
The intermediate frequencies considered here are only the nb_of_updates equally spaced frequencies from the
provided IF_list. For instance, if a list of 100 intermediate frequencies is provided, but nb_of_update is set
to 10, then only 10 correction parameters will be returned for the returned equally spaced intermediate frequencies.
The goal is to perform a wide frequency sweep (scan the LO frequency in Python and the IF in QUA) and update the
mixer correction parameters for each LO frequency and a few intermediate frequencies, given by nb_of_updates,
in QUA.
If the flag calibrate is set to True (the opened Quantum Machine needs to be provided), then the specified element will be calibrated at the given frequencies
(all LO frequencies and only the ``nb_of_updates``` intermediate frequencies).
The function will return the list on intermediate frequencies at which the correction matrix will be updated in the
program (nb_of_updates items) and the four coefficients of the correction matrix and two offsets with one element for each pair (LO, IF) (nb_of_updates * len(LO_list) items).
