A tester tool for the new read-out electronics of the MDT detectors of the ATLAS muon spectrometer in the Phase-II upgrade — •Thorben Swirski, Gia Khoriauli, and Raimund Ströhmer — Universität Würzburg

To make the ATLAS monitored drift tube detectors (MDT) ready for the new high rate environment in the High-Luminosity LHC, new read-out electronics, including new mezzanine cards, are being developed. These mezzanine cards feature a triggerless read-out mode to allow the MDT stations to be used in the trigger decisions. A tester-tool has been designed for mass quality testing of the new mezzanine cards. The tester-hardware is ready since summer 2021 and is now being programmed to allow for the testing of all functionalities of the mezzanine cards. The work allows the use of the tester tool not only for the mass testing of already produced cards, but also adds valuable insights during the ongoing prototyping effort. This talk will present the tester-tool, give an overview over the test-regime, show how the gathered data will be archived in a dedicated database and present examples of how the use of the tester tool has helped the development of the mezzanine cards.
