FMC Time to Digital Converter Testing
There have been several different stages of testing of the FMC TDC 1ns 5cha mezzanine board.
- The Production Test Suite is responsible for testing the different components of the board upon its production.
- The Calibration part aims at defining offset parameters, before the installation of a board.
- The Performance Test aims at determining the precision and general performance of the design, hardware, gateware and software, over time.
