HIC testing software 1 -12 -2016

Complementary developments • New-alpide-software – – – – Used for first chip and module testing Actively developed according to hardware development Specialised in full characterisation during hardware development Command line tool, C++ and libusb Based on USB readout board Attempt to integrate MOSAIC board in progress Discussion on test code (scan class) integration with gui (Markus’ presentation) • MATE – Characterisation of modules at production site (Bari) – Command line tool with plugins, C++ • gui. Software – – – Intended for production testing Graphical interface, C++, Qt. Framework under development. Only register test works now. Based on MOSAIC library contained in MATE Discussion on common test code (scan class)

Transition to production • Stave zero – Only MATE and/or new-alpide-software mature enough today – Hardware compatibility with (half) stave? • 2 MOSAICs should be OK • USB board(s)? • Connectors, h Vacuum table, Power supplies, …. . ? • Series production – Operators need a relatively simple tool (GUI) – Tested code must be available before 1. 2. 3. 4. Can we make the mature code re-usable for the GUI? Which hardware will we use for stave 0? Which software will we use for stave 0? Can we test the basic GUI with stave 0?
