SVOM is a Chinese-French astronomy mission due to launch at the end of 2021 for the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). SVOM will be composed of a network of ground telescopes along with a satellite. On board, the Micro-channel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will study the afterglow emission of GRBs in the 0.2-10 keV range and provide source localization within a 2 arcmin precision. At the focal plane of lobster-eye optics, MXT will mount a back-illuminated fully-depleted frame-store Charge Coupled Device based on silicon pn-junctions (pnCCD), heritage of XMM-Newton and eROSITA. In this work, the first laboratory tests on the MXT detector are presented. Special attention is dedicated to energy calibration, in terms of algorithms and setups for fast an...
