In this paper a novel, Readout Module (RM) for Single Photon Detector (SiPD has been described. The electronics design is based on the concept of virtual instrumentation RM consists of SiPD preamplifier, shaping amplifier, discriminator, multi channel analyzer and control module connected to a PC through the USB bus and of PC application software. The RM can be used for investigation of different types of SiPD with maximum biasing voltage 90 V and maximal current 2 mA. The RM has fast digital output for triggering and 12 bit internal ADC for output digitizing. The RM uses USB bus as a power supply. It could be very useful for laboratory experiment. The small size of module allows easy integration of few modules into multi-channel system that can be used for PET application. (authors)
