AB  - The Sunrise missions consist of observing the magnetic field of the sun 
      continuously for a few days from the stratosphere. In these missions, a balloon 
      supporting a telescope and associated instrumentation, including a Tunable 
      Magnetograph (TuMag), is lifted into the stratosphere. In the camera of this 
      instrument, the image sensor sends its data to a Field Programmable Gate Array 
      (FPGA) using eight transmission channels. These channels must be previously 
      calibrated for a correct delivery of the image. For this mission, the FPGA has 
      been exchanged for a newer and larger one, so the firmware has been adapted to 
      the new device. In addition, the calibration algorithm has been parallelized as 
      the main innovation of this work, taking advantage of the increase in logic 
      resources of the new FPGA, in order to minimize the calibration time of the 
      channels. The algorithm has been implemented specifically for this instrument 
      without using the Input Serial Deserializer (ISERDES) Intellectual Property (IP), 
      since this IP does not support the deserialization of the data sent by the image 
      sensor to the FPGA.
