Each summing board services 16 electrodes in azimuth (Delta_Phi=0.1), summing signals in azimuth. The summation is over 4 or 16 electrodes depending on the region of interest.

Board Region Coverage #(summed layers)
Type 1 Front Strips 0.0 < |eta| < 0.8 16
Type 2 Front Strips 0.8 < |eta| < 1.4 16
Type 3 Front 1.4 < |eta| < 1.475 4
Type 4 Back 0 < |eta| < 1.4 4
