Description
The nanoFIP test board (NFTC) is used to test the functionality of the
nanoFIP design. The
board can also be used to perform tests under a focused radiation beam.
The board has been designed by the company HLP.
The PCI FIP card 2.4
and FipDesigner
software, both from HLP, will be used to drive the WorldFIP bus during
tests.
