Hi Stefan,
No we only use one evaluation board. We use the evaluation board as a part of our beam test setup. It includes a telescope based on the current PSI46V2.1 CMS Pixel chip and a trigger logic board for triggering the telescope and the evaluation board. This includes a 
handshake between every device and the tlu
e.g. the tlu expects an answer for each trigger.
If the trigger comes within this first 200 mus it seems that not every trigger is accepted.
In this moment our readout would 'die' since the tlu is waiting for the handshake.
Cheers
Felix
