This made it difficult to combine the start-stop timing with the time tag or to know the sync period the event belonged to.

	The time tag is now obtained by simply counting sync pulses. From the T3 Mode event records it is therefore possible to precisely determine which sync period a photon event belongs to. Since the sync period is also known precisely, this furthermore allows to reconstruct the arrival time of the photon with respect to the overall experiment time.

	BIFL stands for Burst Integrated Fluorescence Lifetime: The photon events of a complete burst are accumulated into a [[TCSPC]] histogram which is used for lifetime analysis methods afterwards. Usually a burst is defined as a time interval for which the intensity of a time trace or [[MCS]] measurement is above a chosen threshold. Evaluation of all bursts present in an [[MCS]] trace, for example, results in a lifetime histogram.

-	MCS stands for Multi Channel Scaler. At PQ this term is used in the following context: Single photon events, as originating from a [[TTTR]] measurement are sorted by means of their macroscopic time into equally spaced time bins. What immediately results is a time trace of the fluorescence intensity. In a subsequent analysis the binned ensemble of photons can be used to form [[TCSPC]] histograms, which in turn can be used for lifetime analysis, time-gated analysis etc.	+	MCS stands for Multi Channel Scaler.

-	TCSPC stands for Time Correlated Single Photon Counting: A stream of photons is recorded, each photon with respect to a (often periodical) signal, e.g. a repeated laser pulse. The single photon events are sorted into histogram channels that correspond to the time that elapsed since the last excitation pulse. It is a time domain method of investigating time resolved fluorescence.	+	TCSPC stands for Time Correlated Single Photon Counting: A stream of photons is recorded, each photon with respect to a (often periodical) signal, e.g. a repeated laser pulse.
