Two test beam periods are scheduled in 2009 at CERN: May and October. These tests are crucial in view of validating the sensor for the IBL, but also for the SLHC tracker upgrade.

The test beam setup is based on two main components:
- Silicon telescope (so called "Bonn" telescope or BAT) with its own DAQ and monitoring. Have integrated the TurboDAQ system.
- 3D assemblies read out by TurboDAQ (1 TurboDAQ per tested board). We shall have at least 3 TurboDAQ available, plus one in the lab (building 161).
