• The USBPix is the single module system designed by Bonn as an alternative test system for FE-I3/FE-I4. More than 20 laboratories invested on this system and an effort is going on to upgrade hardware and software to the new FE-I4. This will be the IBL single module test bench system.
• The upgrade of a FE-I3 USBPix system to FE-I4 requires a new adapter board which connects the so-called Multi-IO board to the FE-I4 board.
• A complete new USBPix system for FE-I4 consists of a Mulit-IO board plus the FE-I4 adapter board.

• There is a TWiki page on USBpix here

• On 3rd-4th April 2011 at DESY, there was a 2 day tutorial for the USBpix. Slides and evo recordings of the sessions can be found here
