Software
PicoMaster 1 comes with FelixGX software for instrumental control and includes new PowerFit-10 analytical software for fluorescence lifetime analysis.
Through the new, powerful ASOC-10 USB interface FelixGX provides a full set of data acquisition protocols and controls the hardware for all system configurations and operating modes.
FelixGX controls:
- Monochromators
- Motorized slits
- Motorized polarizers
- Motorized sample holders
- Temperature control Peltier devices
- Detectors
- External devices such as stopped flow
FelixGX also fully controls all functions of the TCSPC board:
- Time-to-Amplitude Converter (TAC) range, gain, offset, limit low and limit high
- Sync and Stop channel CFD thresholds and crossings
- Time delay of Sync pulse
- number of channels
- Frequency divider
- Acquisition stop method (stop button, peak channel count or time)
PowerFit-10
PowerFit-10 software (incorporated into FelixGX) provides powerful analytical package for decay data analysis. All modules include reconvolution algorithms, selection of data weighing (Poisson or analog), shift and offset parameters, statistical goodness-of-fit parameters (Chi-square, Durbin-Watson, Runs test, residuals and autocorrelation), as well as standard deviations of fit parameters.
PowerFit-10 contains the following modules:
- multi-exponential (1 to 4 lifetimes) decay
- multi-file multi-exponential (1 to 4 lifetimes)
- global (1 to 4 lifetimes) analysis
- anisotropy decay (free rotor, restricted rotor and other models)
- stretched exponential
- micelle quenching kinetics (Infelta-Groetzel-Tachiya model)
- Exponential Series Method (ESM) unconstrained lifetime distribution analysis (up to 200 exp terms)
- Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) lifetime distribution analysis (up to 200 exp terms)
- Time-Resolved Spectra (TRES)
- Decay Associated Spectra (DAS)
