SPCM Software

The DPC-230 comes with the ‘Multi SPC Software’, or ‘SPCM’ operating software. The

SPCM software is not only used for the DPC-230 but also for all bh SPC (TCSPC) modules.

It allows the user to operate up to four DPC-230 modules, or up to four SPC-630, -730, -830,

130, 140, or 150 modules. The SPCM software includes measurement parameter setting,

measurement control, loading and saving of measurement and setup data, and data display and

evaluation in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional modes. The SPCM software runs under Win-

dows 2000, NT, XP, and Vista. For installation of the SPCM software, please see

‘Installation’ page 13. The SPCM software is described in detail in the ‘bh TCSPC Handbook’

[2]. The following chapter focuses mainly on the features which are specific of the DPC-230.

Configuring the SPCM Main Panel

The main panel of the SPCM software can be adjusted to different instrument configurations.

For details please see [2], ‘SPCM Software’. There may be several windows for the measure-

ment results, or different results may be displayed within one window. Frequently used con-

trol panels may be kept open at any time. Some typical configurations are shown in Fig. 58.
