Experimental Control

Detector Controller Card (DCC)

The bh DCC-100PCIe modules are used to control detectors and lasers in conjunction with bh photon counters. The DCC provides power supply to two detectors and controls their gain via the PMT operating voltages. In conjunction with bh detectors or bh preamplifiers, it provides overload shutdown of the detectors.
