Laser pulse counter in FPGA

Dear guys,

 

i have a laser pulses that i wont to measure the time between the start and end pulse via FPGA.

 

i am not familiar with FPGA but because of the cost i am forced to use it. my fpga D70.

 

so if you guys got any info answer will be so greatful

sam432,

 

Do you have an FPGA from NI? What is the model number? D70 doesn't sound like any NI FPGA model numbers. You will need to have an NI FPGA if you want to use the LabVIEW FPGA Module.

 

If you're asking in general how this is done, typically you would use a counter to determine the period of the square wave. More information about your laser and what NI hardware you might be using would be helpful.
