Mono.dll v1.1.0.9 PicoQuant GmbH, October 2008 The TimeHarp 200 software supports monochromator control and the measurement of Time-Resolved Emission Spectra (TRES). It requires the dynamic link library "Mono.dll" to control the monochromator. Currently Mono.dll works with selected monochromators, some requiring dedicated controller hardware from PicoQuant. If supported hardware is installed, Mono.dll must be placed in the same folder as TimeHarp.exe. In that case the monochromator configuration file "monochromator.cfg" must also be placed in the same folder. The contents of this file are readily adjusted for complete spectrometers sold by PicoQuant. It should not be changed by the user. The "monochromator.cfg" provided here is set up for a simulation mode that works without real stepper motor hardware. Do not use it for any other purpose. If you need to replace your configuration after a complete re-installation, use the "monochromator.cfg" file specifically adjusted for your spectrometer (usually supplied on floppy disk). Misconfigurations may lead to hardware damage. In case of doubt contact PicoQuant support. Note that dependent on the physical connection of the stepper motor controller (PCI, USB, RS232) a device driver and special DLLs may also be required. These are pre-installed on computers delivered with PicoQuant spectrometers. If they need to be re-installed, please use the driver disk(s) delivered with the computer. - Disclaimer - PicoQuant GmbH disclaims all warranties with regard to this software including all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness.
