-    Each reticle is connected to its corresponding CURE board.
-    Those can read voltages of each reticle, but not at the same position as an AnaB.
-    They read right before \(R_1\) in \autoref{fig:retmodel}.
     
-    Another specialization of the PowerWafer is, that all reticles analog and digital \SI{1.8}{\volt} lines are connected directly to pins on the analog readout boards~\cite{anabpower}. There it is possible to measure a voltage, which is the one after the load resistors in \autoref{fig:retmodel}
