Installation

Computer

In principle, the DPC-230 module can be installed in a PCI slot of any Pentium PC. However,

the SPCM software runs the data transfer and the online-data processing in parallel ‘threads’.

To achieve a reasonable data transfer and processing rate the computer should be one with a

dual-core architecture.

The graphics card should have 1024 by 628 resolution or more. Both table-top and tower ver-

sions can be used. However, the computer must accept a full-size PCI card. It is recommended

to have two or three free PCI slots available. The DPC-230 can then be used in conjunction

with a bh DCC-100 detector controller card or a bh GVD-100 scan controller card.

The operating system can be Windows 2000, NT, XP, or Vista. The computer should have

1 Gigabyte of main memory. If the DPC is used for long measurements at high count rates a

main memory of 2 Gigabytes or more is recommended. The large memory helps to avoid hard

disc actions during the measurement and thus increases the maximum sustained count rate.

The DPC is operated via the SPCM software that is also used for the bh SPC modules. Al-

though the SPCM operating software requires only a few Mb of hard disk space, much more

space should be available to save the measurement results. The time-tag data files can be as

large as several Gigabytes. It is therefore recommended to use a hard disc of several 100 Gb.

A DVD drive or another backup medium is also recommended.

Software Installation

The software installation starts automatically after the insertion of the installation CD. You

may also install or update the software form the web. In this case, open www.bekcer-

hickl.com, and click on the ‘Software’ button. On the ‘Software’ page (Fig. 15, left), click on

‘TCSPC Modules’, ‘Operating Software’. Then click on ‘Setup’ for SPC-830, SPC-730,

SPC-630, SPC-134, SPC-144, SPC-154 ((Fig. 15, right)). Download TCSPC_setup_web.exe

and start it.
