Changing Detector Connections on the Scan Head and Router When Using HyD-RLD
24.2 Connect and Use Detectors
24.2.1 Using SP FLIM PMT
If you would like to use SP FLIM PMT, you have to connect the SMD signal cable of the
detector in the scan head with the router. Proceed as follows:
1. Close the LAS AF software.
2. Switch the system, including the detectors, off.
3. Connect the SMD signal cable of the detector in the scan head (
Figure 192
) to the
PHR 800 router's CFD inputs ( Figure 191 ).
4. Connect the synchronization cable of the MP or white light laser with Channel 0 of the
PicoHarp 300 counting unit ( Figure 197 ). The connection between Channel 1 and the
PHR 800 router can remain.
5. Switch the system, including the detectors, on.
6. Start the LAS AF software and select the hardware tree
MP on FCS FLIM 2 APD
or
MP
off FCS FLIM 2 APD .
24.2.2 Using MPD APDs
If you would like to use MPD APDs, you have to connect the image signal cable and the SMD
signal cable of the detector with the scan head and router. Proceed as follows:
1. Close the LAS AF software.
2. Switch the system, including the detectors, off.
3. Connect the image signal cable of the MPD APDs (SPAD 1 and SPAD 2, Figure 195 ) to the
signal converter (
Figure 196
). The cables can always stay attached to the signal
converter.
4. Connect the signal converter to the APD printed circuit board of the scan head
( Figure 190 ).
5. Connect the SMD signal cable MPD APDs (
Figure 195
) to the PHR 800 router's detector
connections ( Figure 191 ). These cables can always stay attached to the router.
6. Connect the synchronization cable of the MP or white light laser with Channel 0 of the
PicoHarp 300 counting unit ( Figure 197 ). The connection between Channel 1 and the
PHR 800 router can remain.
7. Switch the system, including the detectors, on.
8. Start the LAS AF software and select the hardware tree MP on FCS FLIM 2 APD or MP
off FCS FLIM 2 APD .
