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.
