Reverse Plot
Due to the method of TCSPC measurement, where the start and stop events are reversed, it is sometimes useful to
plot the curves with the TIME axis reversed. Selecting this option will reverse the time axis for the plot.
Show Time Bins as Bars
Selecting this option will result in the graphical output being displayed as histogram bars rather than as a single best
fit line as shown in Fig 11.
Microtime LSB
The smallest bin width is 27ps. In some cases it may not be necessary to be this accurate. Selecting the LSB of the
microtime defines the bin resolution. Bit 0 is the highest resolution of 27ps. Bit 1 will set the bin width to 54ps (2 x
27) bit 2 will set the bin width to 108ps (4 x 27) and so forth.
The choice of bin width is application specific. Should the experiment not require such accuracy it may be better
to select a lower resolution than 27ps. This will give the added advantage of allowing a wider time range over the
available memory and/or more room for multiple curves.
Channel Enable and Edge Selection
These check boxes allow the individual channels to be enabled/disabled and the sensitivity of the START/STOP
inputs to be specified.
