Photon Counting Controls
| Uniform Pixel Bin Size | Disables the geometry correction for the non-uniform resonant scanning speed (see Line Formation) |
Photon Counting Controls - Integration Mode
| Differentiate Before Integration | Apply centered differentiation on signal for photo current integration |
| Absolute Value Before Integration | Take the absolute value on signal for photo current integration |
| Enable Integration Threshold | Ignore any values below threshold for photo current integration |
| Integration Threshold | Value of integration threshold (in ADC units) |
| Disable Mask Averaging | Disables the division after sample binning (see Line Formation). |
Photon Counting Controls - Photon Counting Mode
| Configure Photon Discriminator | Shows the photon discriminator GUI |
| Show Photon Histogram | Shows the photon histogram |
| Photon Selection Mask | For time correlated photon counting; Binary mask that selects photons after laser pulse used to display in channel |
| Disable Mask Averaging | Disables the division after sample binning (see Line Formation). Should be ON for photon counting. |

Photon Discriminator
