The module readout is done with the VA-HDR1 (128 channel) chip on all Type 1 modules, for all other modules the 64-channel VA-HDR4 ("AMS") chip is used. 6 or 8 chips are daisy-chained for the readout. Every hybrid has two analog readout lines. A readout frequency of 5MHz is assumed in the estimate of the readout time.
