寿命技术被应用于不同的研究领域，包括材料科学，半导体物理，生物学，分子生物物理学和光chemical.Here，我们presentDDRS4PALS，一个软件的采集和模拟寿命谱使用DRS 4评估板（保罗Scherrer研究所，瑞士）的时间分辨测量和数字化的探测器输出脉冲。在寿命计算之前，可以校正或拒绝受干扰的脉冲，以提供高质量的寿命谱的生成，这对于深刻的分析，即真实信息的分解是至关重要的。此外，测量期间可以将脉冲传输到（外部）硬盘驱动器上，然后在离线模式下下载，而无需连接到硬件。这允许从一个单一的测量中产生不同配置的各种寿命谱，因此，在可分析性和质量方面进行有意义的比较。并行处理和集成的基于JavaScript的语言提供了方便的选项来加速和自动化耗时的过程，例如寿命谱模拟。
Lifetime techniques are applied to diverse fields of study including materials sciences, semiconductor physics, biology, molecular biophysics and photochemistry.Here we presentDDRS4PALS, a software for the acquisition and simulation of lifetime spectra using the DRS4 evaluation board (Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland) for time resolved measurements and digitization of detector output pulses. Artifact afflicted pulses can be corrected or rejected prior to the lifetime calculation to provide the generation of high-quality lifetime spectra, which are crucial for a profound analysis, i.e. the decomposition of thetrueinformation. Moreover, the pulses can be streamed on an (external) hard drive during the measurement and subsequently downloaded in the offline mode without being connected to the hardware. This allows the generation of various lifetime spectra at different configurations from one single measurement and, hence, a meaningful comparison in terms of analyzability and quality. Parallel processing and an integrated JavaScript based language provide convenient options to accelerate and automate time consuming processes such as lifetime spectra simulations.
