IF parameter input to time of flight experiment

[jevillegasd]

Is it possible to add an optinal IF value as an input parameter for the time of flight routine (to for example 10 MHz)? This is useful to generate a signal that is discernible (sinusoid with the set frequency) from which we can do some sanity checks.

I can do that now by setting the MZ frequency at LO_freq -10 MHz, to get the image below, but it feels more practical to have this as a possible parameter.

Also for this routine, is it possible to always set the acquisition delay to 0 (or the minimum) instead of using the platform's value. This way the returned number is absolute.

This one was already mentioned before. Isn't it? @Edoardo-Pedicillo

Thanks @jevillegasd for opening the issue.
This is something that we can do for sure.

Indeed, this was already done here: #1199

@andrea-pasquale correct, thanks!

I had forgotten the PR in the meanwhile, my bad 😅

Actually in that PR the acquisition delay is not set to 0 exactly because of some issues with QM, where the minimum value accepted is 24. If necessary we can take a second look.
