Tests of hybrids circuits for the CMS tracker : FHIT project

Front end Hybrid Industrial Tester (FHIT)

In collaboration with the RWTH Aachen III university and the IReS in Strasbourg, we are in charge of developping a tester for Front End Hybrids (FEH). This device will be able to perform automatically and quickly (about 1 min) a full industrial test which consist in an connectivity test, an electrical and a functional test. The first two tests are performed by the FHIT board itself (firmware level) while the functional test is performed by the ARC board, inside the FHIT box, through a C++ developped software. This C++ code comes from ARCS (RWTH Aachen) and is interfaced through a LabVIEW software. This software, called FHITS, allows a fully automatic use of FHIT, with features like power supply automatic control, barcode scanner reading and result files creation.
