Walz PAM-CONTROL Universal Control Unit

► The PAM-CONTROL unit is part of various PAM systems, which all employ a highly sensitive photomultiplier tube for fluorescence detection: the MICROSCOPY-PAM, the MICROFIBER-PAM, and the WATER-PAM FIBER Version. In all three systems, an automatic shutdown procedure protects the photomultiplier tube against damage by high fluorescence levels or external light.

► The memory of the unit can store 4000 data sets. An extensive menu provides full control of instrumental settings and a variety of measuring protocols.

Data Evaluation:
► Saturating pulse analysis with automatic detection and calculation of standard fluorescence parameters: F0, FM, F0’ (measured or calculated), FM’, F, FV/FM, qP, qL, qN, NPQ, Y(II), Y(NPQ), Y(NO), ETR.

Data Export:
► Export in CSV or TXT format of original fluorescence traces, saturating pulse analysis data and parameter estimates of light response curves.

Automated Routines:
► Repetitive triggering of many fluorometer functions (e.g., saturation pulse analysis, induction curves). Automatic execution of light and induction curves, offset correction and calibration of internal light sensor.

Customer-defined Measuring Protocols:
► Execution of customized experimental procedures using batch files.
