The first ATLAS pixel detector full-system test setup

Prior to going into installation and operation, parts of the Atlas pixel detector are being tested outside the Atlas experiment in an environment that is as similar as possible to the final conditions, including efficient cooling at ambient temperature as well as at -20°C. A first test system had been setup and used for test run operation in 2005 and is still in use in view of S-LHC upgrades. We give an overview of the hardware and software needed for a minimal setup with at least one specimen of each component and focus on local contributions, which were necessary during commissioning of our test bench.
