An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chip is being developed at the GSI Darmstadt for the readout of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the PANDA detector. To enable characterization of this chip, a test setup was designed and implemented at the Helmholtz Institute Mainz. The setup allows fully automated measurements over a wide range of clock frequencies and input signal frequencies. This enables systematic investigation of both calibration behavior and dynamic performance. Its modular design provides flexibility, allowing extensions and improvements as needed. An implemented server allows multiple users to connect simultaneously and control measurements remotely. This architecture, combined with full automation, allows for reproducible testing of current and future ADC chips.
