Abstract: Integrating the ATLAS/BNL VMM3a ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) into the RD51/SRS (Scalable Readout System) provides a self-triggered continuous readout system for various gaseous detectors. Since the system allows flexible parameters, such as switching the polarity, adjusting electronics gain or different peaking times, the settings can be adjusted for a wide range of detectors. The system allows particles to be recorded with a MHz interaction rate in energy, space, and time. The system will be introduced in the beginning, and short examples will be given for different applications. After, the Twin GEM TPC will be discussed in more detail to show the benefits of such a trigger-less system in combination with the Twin configuration. Last, a few results for the tracking performance and the possibility to operate as a tracking telescope will be shown. Thus, this presents the possibility of an extremely low material budget tracking system suitable for tracking from high to low-energy particle beams.
