Abstract
A complete solution for collecting and processing data from gaseous tracking detectors has been developed. The readout chain consists of Front-End Modules (FEM) equipped with PASTTREC2 ASIC chips and Trigger Readout Board v3 (TRBv3) as a readout platform, together with control and monitoring mechanisms and data quality assessment software. The entire system has been evaluated in the laboratory as well as in-beam experiments. The results show drift time measurement and Time-over-Threshold time precision measurement below 1 ns and a high counting rate performance per channel. Measured PASTTREC2 operation characteristics as well as the TRBv3 platform used for readout allow to adapt and integrate the system under discussion to the existing HADES spectrometer and the PANDA detector, an experiment under construction, both located at FAIR facility in Darmstadt.
