Hey All,
Chemistry graduate student here brand new to LabView and looking for some help to move in the right direction. I am looking for help with connecting my PerkinElmer SPCM-AQR-14 (now owned by Excelitas Technologies) photon counter to LabView 12 for trace-fluorescence data acquisition. I simply want to be able to acquire # of photon counts vs. time. I currently have installed a PCI-6601 and use a BNC-2121 to connect the BNC output from the detector. The detector has a digital TTL pulse output with 30 ns pulse width, and in contacting tech support about this, I was told that this pulse width was too short to be consistently detected by the 6601, but can still go ahead and give it a try. Basically, if anyone is familiar with how to get started with this setup, ANY help would be greatly appreciated. As I said I am brand new to LabView and am currently spending all of my free time reading through manuals and help files.
Please let me know if you need any sort of additional information from me to understand what I am doing.
