Besides that, the USBpix test system has to provide most of the functionalityas its predecessor TurboDAQ. The functionality of USBpix includes thefollowing scan types (to name the most important ones):Analog Test Test of the analog pixel blockCrosstalk Scan Measurement of the electronic crosstalk between adjacent pixelsDigital Test Test of the digital pixel block and digital readout chainMonleak Scan Measurement of the leakage currentSource Scan Data taking with radioactive source and external triggerThreshold Scan Measurement of the S-curveGDAC and TDAC Tuning Coarse and fine tuning of the thresholdFDAC Tuning Tuning of the Time-over-Threshold (ToT)ToT Calibration Measurement of the relationship between collected chargeand ToTAdditionally, the integration of the USBpix test system into the framework ofthe EUDET beam telescope is one of the major tasks.4.3 Hardware Parts of USBpixThe USBpix hardware is built up in a modular way (see figure 4.1). It consistsof three di erent PCB boards which are connected over flat ribbon cable and34
