Hello Sir,
Regarding to analog pulse counting by using DRS4 Rev.2.0 board, you have said that "There is a way to perform the counting dead time free, but that requires the V4 board, which has a hardware comparator on all four channels (The V2 board has only one comparator and a multiplexer). The output of these comparators go directly to the FPGA, which can then trigger on these signals. In principle one could implement a hardware counter in the FPGA, which works practically dead time free. But this requires a new firmware which has to be written. Either you do it yourself using the Xilinx development tools, or you wait until I find some time to implement this, which could take a couple of weeks or even months."
I am interested in it. I have DRS4 Rev.2.0 board. I have FPGA and Microcontroller firmware for this board. How can I implement this concept of counting pulses?

As I said above, you need a V4 board which has the four hardware comparators mounted. You cannot do that with the V2 board, even with a firmware upgrade.
The firmware upgrade for the V4 board is not yet ready and I won't have time for that in the next 3-4 weeks, but afterwards maybe.
Best regards,
Stefan

Thank you for your response.
The DRS4 Rev.2.0 with one Multiplexer and a Comparator I think may be is ok for me. Since I wanted to implement counter in FPGA, I have gone through firmware but its very difficult for me to get the flow of data from DRS to USB. Could you help me to get familiar with or to get flow of the data from DRS to the USB?
Thank You,
