This method is based on the measurement of the electronic noise rate at different thresholds of the frontend discriminator. The method was used to choose the optimal discriminator thresholds. A procedure based on this method was implemented in the detector control system and allowed the detection of a small percentage of frontend channels which had deteriorated. A Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to check the validity of the method.A new method has been developed to check the correctbehaviour of the frontend electronics of the LHCb muon detector.This method is based on the measurement of the electronic noise rateat different thresholds of the front-end discriminator.
