The proton radius puzzle is an exciting problem in particle physics. To help solving it, the COMPASS collaboration plans to conduct a measurement of the proton electric form factor at very small values of the squared momentum transfer using high-energy muons scattered in a high-pressure hydrogen TPC (Time Projection Chamber). In the year 2018 a first proof-of-principle experiment was performed at the COMPASS beam line using a prototype TPC and eight double-sided silicon detectors. The talk will focus on the analysis of the TPC data and of the combined data of both detector systems. Correlations between parameters measured in the TPC and in the tracking system will be discussed. The resolutions achieved with the present setup will be presented. They will be used together with ongoing Monte-Carlo studies to define the final setup for the measurement.
