nanoFIP Test Board
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.
To simplify radiation tests, the board is compatible with the sample frame of PSI.
The PCI FIP card 2.4 and FipDesigner software, both from HLP, will be used to drive the WorldFIP bus during tests.
