Production and Test of the ATLAS Hadronic Calorimeter Digitizer

The pre-production stage of the full-scale production of the ATLAS TileCal digitizer started during the summer 2001.To be able to ensure full functionality and quality, a thorough test scheme was developed.All components are radiation tested before start of production.After mounting components all digitizer boards will pass burn-in and tests in Stockholm.Custom designed software ensures that full functionality is maintained.A record of the test results is stored in a repository accessible via Internet for future reference.Similar test software is later used at the site of full electronics assembly in Clermont-Ferrand cross referencing their results with the test data entries.
