description Micromesh Gaseous Detectors (MicroMeGas) will be implemented in the ATLAS detector in the framework of the New Small Wheel Upgrade during the long shut down II in 2019/20. These detectors are used for position measurement and have a high spatial resolution of 100 μm. In parallel to the ongoing constructions of the later modules, additional performance studies with small MicroMeGas prototypes of a size of 10 × 10 cm$^2$ are performed. These studies include a cosmic muon test setup in combination with a scalable readout system, such that the influences of variations in the pressure of the operation gas or changes in the humidity at the lower ppm level to the detector performance are investigated. These parameters will impact the later design of the slow control system at the New Small Wheel in ATLAS.
