FASPAX ASIC revision 1.b first articles testing and support

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) and Field Viewers Ltd. Inc. (FV) will work together for a period of two weeks to bring up the FASPAX_V1.0b. During this period, Fermilab will help FV come up to speed with the ASIC functionality testing and train in the usage of the FASPAX test setup at Fermilab that uses the NIPXIe architecture with FleXRIO modules. This setup will be initially used for testing of chips to ensure the basic functionality and design parameters. The NIPXIe setup was developed by the Fermilab team, but it is has not yet been verified to be capable of fully testing the FASPAX_V1.0 chip. Fermilab will offer the developed software and hardware to FV for the on-site use at Fermilab. No guarantee is given by Fermilab for the setup to be able to fully cover the scope of the necessary tests. FV will be responsible for using and modifying of the setup to achieve the DOE-BES Phase-I targets.
