+## About
+
+This is a [qupulse](https://github.com/qutech/qupulse) driver for Zurich Instrument's HDAWG which uses the pre-2022 firmware, i.e. version `20.7.2701`. This was the latest release with `playWaveIndexed`. The latest supported python version is sadly `3.8`. The driver for newer firmware versions is called [qupulse-hdawg](https://github.com/qutech/qupulse-hdawg).
