Development of photon counting technique to operate from discrete photons to continuous regime using DAQ card in LabVIEW platform

•Development of a detection method to operate from discrete photons to continuous photon input signals and automatically detects either of them.•Development of photon-counting methods using combined logic of pulse width and pulse potential amplitude.•Facilitates multichannel scaler application which offers a feature of a bin by bin photon count analysis of acquired larger bin size.•Better dynamic range compared to SR400 gated photon counter.
