The CRONO is a single photon counting and timing camera based on a high-performance imaging array of independent smart pixels.Each pixel comprises a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detector, a dedicated Active Quenching Circuit (AQC), an 8-bit counter, a Time to Digital Converter (TDC) with 312.5 ps bin width and column/row readout electronics. This on-chip integrated device provides single-photon sensitivity, high electronic noise immunity, and rapid readout speed. Currently two imaging arrays are available: a 2-D imager of 64 pixels arranged in 8 rows by 8 columns, and a linear imager of 128 pixels.

IMPORTANT In order to execute a program which links to the SDK libraries, a set of DLL should be placed in the same directory as the executable. The list of the required files is:

CRONO_SDK.dll       Software development kit interface
okFrontPanel.dll            Low-level interface
