Description
Summary:The ATLAS Muon Drift Tube (MDT) ReadOut Drivers (MROD) have been in operation for more than 15 years and are expected to remain in operation until about 2026. In the event of extensive failures the number of spare modules may be insufficient. This project therefore proposes using the Front-End LInk eXchange (FELIX) system, a new component of the ATLAS data acquisition (DAQ) infrastructure, to overcome a potential MROD failure. The presentation will describe the FELIX-MROD's design as well as tests of its functionality. The latest results of testing its integration into the ATLAS DAQ will be reported.
