User manuals
- LINTag User Manual — the high-throughput streaming time-to-digital converter: eight channels and up to 350 million time tags per second over 10G Ethernet. Installation, the LINTag Capture software, the hardware, the Python API, measurement workflows and troubleshooting.
- PhotonPix User Manual — the photon-counting module built on an MCP-PMT, with its high-voltage supply, constant-fraction discriminator and protection circuits. The hardware, software installation and the first measurement.
Python package
The photonscore package, one page per module, generated from its docstrings.
- photonscore.vault — read and write
.photons/ D7 files. - photonscore.transform2d — 2-D affine transforms: translation, rotation and scaling.
- photonscore.LINCam — remote control of the LINCam camera.
- photonscore.LINTag — remote control of the LINTag time tagger.
- photonscore.PhotonPix — remote control of the PhotonPix detector modules.
- photonscore.flim — lifetime imaging: reading data, decay histograms, IRF convolution, synthetic decays and intensity-weighted lifetime images.
- photonscore.correlator — streaming start-stop correlators.
Downloads
- Software downloads — the capture and analysis applications, the Python package and the MATLAB toolbox, for every release.
