Using Digilent’s Basys3 FPGA board with LabVIEW for single-photon counting
written by
Matthew T. Vonk
The Basys3 board produced by Digilent and featuring the Artix-7 FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) promises to provide the fast electronic signal processing required to perform single-photon counting. The Basys3 compares favorably in terms of cost, speed, and convenience to the Altera-brand FPGA's that have been described by other authors. LabVIEW provides a flexible and convenient way to control the FPGA board and to graphically represent what is happening with the various counts in real time. Details about how to use the Basys3 board and information about how to interface the board with LabVIEW in the context of a single-photon counting experiment are described.
