This ATLAS pixel module burn-in system consists of a hardware component, the Supply and Readout/Fanout (SuRF) board and a software component, the ATLAS Module Burn-in Shell (AMBuSh). The SuRF board supplies four modules with power and HV and connects them to a TPCC channel. A host computer (usually the same computer that controls the TPCC) controls the SuRF board via USB. The board can exercise the modules by running them at different operating voltages. It continuously monitors the supply currents and module temperature.

The ATLAS pixel module burn-in software (AMBuSh) is available here. For documentation, type make in the doc/ directory or get it from here.
Nightly development snapshots will become available soon.
