Multichannel detector head controller C7557-01 For control of multichannel detector head and data acquisition The C7557-01 is specifically designed for basic control in multichannel photometry. When connected to a HAMAMATSU multichannel detector head and a personal computer, the C7557-01 allows easy control of the detector head and data acquisition by using dedicated software that comes with the unit. The C7557-01 supports all models of HAMAMATSU multichannel detector heads designed to use a CCD/NMOS/InGaAs image sensor. The C7557-01 provides various useful functions (see page 2) that efficiently collect sample data during basic operation. The C7557-01 controller includes a driver/amplifier circuit for operating a multichannel detector head, a power supply circuit, a temperature stabilizer circuit, an A/D conversion circuit that converts analog signals from the detector head into digital signals, and a data interface. The software supplied with the C7557-01 allows easy control of the multichannel detector head and data acquisition through the USB interface. This software runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, by simple operation from the menu neatly displayed on the screen. This software is available with different kinds of DLL *1 to help you develop your own software programs.
