In the last two updates v1.1 and v1.2 of DLTPulseGenerator library, we provided the simulation of distributed specific lifetimes and the simulation of lifetime spectra consisting of non-Gaussian distributed and linearly combined Instrument Response Functions (IRF). In this update v1.3, the DLTPulseGenerator library was modified to account for additional hardware influences, which significantly modify the ideal shape of a detector output-pulse defined previously by a log-normal distribution function. These influences mainly originate from the electronic parts, which accomplish the conversion of the analog voltage signal into digital numbers, i.e. the A/D converter (ADC). Eventually, this provides the modeling of authentic detector output-pulses, which leads to a spectra simulation under more realistic conditions.
