The CBM Micro-Vertex-Detector (MVD) front-end electronics serve as an intermediating
device between the Monoilithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) and the DAQ system
(based on the TRB3 system developed by HADES).
Several generation and distribution schemes were implemented to
investigate which setup results in the best noise performance.

+\section{Measurements}
The MIMOSA26 provides a test mode to measure the discriminator transfer function\footnote{The firing
probability of a binary pixel as a function of discriminator threshold; usually has the form
of a sigmoid function.} of all pixels. The slope steepness is directly related to the temporal
% coordination of data taking and continuous monitoring of sensor parameters (power consumption,
% temperature, etc). Furthermore it allows for convenient editing of sensor and electronics settings.

When characterizing MAPS sensors, it is desirable to investigate the temperature dependence of certain
sensor parameters. Until recently such tests could only be done using a large cooling system which
circulates silicone oil through a cooling block to which the sensors under test are attached.
