< Back to parent project

Overview

This project describes the production test system for the FMC-ADC-100M-14b-4cha card.
It is based on a SPEC carrier board and a standard desktop computer.

The test system is based on the PTS (Production Test Suite) framework.
It is used in the fmc-adc-100m14b4cha-tst project as a git-submodule.
