The future licensing, development and support of LabVIEW™ platform by National Instruments in the domain of academia and research is uncertain. Therefore the need for migration of LabVIEW projects to other platforms gain momentum. Python is a popular programming language and a possible alternative that enables effective system integration. Most control systems in the experiment control system...
In the past especially trap experiments using the GSI-developed and LabVIEW based CS framework were dependent on NIs FPGA cards for precise experimental control (PPG) and data acquisition (TDC).
But since LabVIEW is more or less abandoned at GSI, we had to look for alternatives for the future. The MUPPET board based on a Xilinx ARTIX-7 FPGA allows the connection of up to 16 programmable LEMO...
