A NEW DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR THE VITO PROJECT USING A PYTHON FPGA INTERFACE

This document describes the work done as part of the CERN summer student programme 2022. The main goal was to establish connection between a PC and a FPGA card using Python and a compiled LabVIEW code. This is done in order to move from a proprietary software to an open source one. Python was chosen because there is a library officially supported by National Instruments making possible to write code to give commands to the FPGA. The procedure that lead to achieve the main goal is presented, from the first attempts to the final results.
