• Manufacturer Part Number: c10507-11
• Description: Mppc Modules
• Manufacturer: Hamamatsu Photonics, K.K.,

To use the MPPC module, it must be connected to a PC through a USB 1.1 interface. The MPPC is powered by the USB bus power from the
PC. Various MPPC module operations are performed on the PC, and the measurement data can be monitored on the PC. Connecting the
analog output to an oscilloscope allows monitoring the output waveforms. Connecting the comparator output to a frequency counter allows
obtaining the count value.
The sample software is designed to easily perform basic MPPC mod-
ule operations. Using the sample software makes it easy to perform
measurements. Basic functions of the sample software are acquir-
ing data, displaying measurement data graphs, and saving data.
The sample software operation is veri¿ ed by the following systems.
Operation with other systems is not guaranteed.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4 *
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
We recommend using a PC with a high-performance CPU and a
large capacity memory. A high-performance CPU and large memory
are especially important when operating two or more MPPC mod-
ules simultaneously.
