Abstract
In the following, rather technical chapter, an overview over the applied electronic readout systems is given. The reconstruction mechanisms and algorithms, that have been developed and implemented in the course of this thesis are discussed. Details of the used hardware and the analysis algorithms can be found in the appendix.

Noise elimination using a Hough transform in the µTPC reconstruction has been proposed and developed in the framework of the Muon ATLAS Micromegas Activity collaboration (MAMMA) by G. Iakovidis, S. Leontsinis, K. Ntekas et al. The presented algorithm is inspired by this work.
