Software Start 15

Fig. 17: Downloading the drivers from the bh web site

Open www.becker-hickl.com and click on ‘Software’. On the ‘Software’ page, click on

‘TCSPC Modules’, ‘Drivers’. Then click on ‘Setup’ and download the drivers.

Software Start

When the module is inserted and the driver is installed, start the SPCM Software. The initiali-

sation panel shown in Fig. 18, left should appear. The installed modules (there can be up to

four) are marked as ‘In use’. The modules are shown with their serial number, PCI address

and slot number.

Important: If the DPC module is not found at this stage, e.g. because the driver was not in-

stalled, the software starts in an emulation mode (see below, ‘Starting the SPC software with-

out an SPC module). What you see in this mode is generated by the software or loaded from a

file - it is not the data recorded by your DPC-230 module!

The software runs a simple hardware test when it initialises the module. If an error is found, a

message ‘Hardware Errors Found’ is given and the corresponding module is marked red. In

case of non-fatal hardware errors you can start the SPCM main window by selecting ‘Hard-

ware Mode’ in the ‘Change Mode’ panel. Please note that this feature is intended for trouble

shooting and repair rather than for normal use.

When the initialisation window appears, click on ‘OK’ to open the main window of the SPCM

Software. At the first start the software comes up with default parameter settings which may

be not appropriate for your measurement problem. Therefore, changes may be required for

your particular application, please see ‘Configuring the SPCM Main Panel’, page 37.

When you exit the SPCM software after changing parameters, the system settings are saved in

a file ‘auto.set’. This file is automatically loaded at the next program start. So the system will

come up in the same state as it was left before.
