(1) For all modules of the SPC series: up to 4 or 8 PMTs are connected using routers HRT-41 or HRT-81; for up to 8 SPADs (TTL) use HRT-82. 16 channel detection is provided by the PML-16 detector series.
(2) A single instance of SPCM software operates up to four modules. Multiple instances of SPCM can be launched to operate more than four modules or modules of different types.
(3) Using SPCM DLL with custom programming up to 32 modules can be operated in parallel.
(4) Hanbury-Brown-Twiss setup. Start-stop histogram between two detectors.
(5) The standard deviation ? and the FWHM for the channel timing are always measured between two channels. For easier comparison with other products, the presented jitter on the timing of a single channel event is then estimated as ?/?2, assuming Gaussian jitter distribution. The FWHM is treated accordingly.
