Abstract :
The authors developed a hardware readout system for a curved one dimensional position sensitive X-ray proportional counter. Eight analog signals from cathode strips and wedges are processed to give, within a few microseconds, 14-bit information about the position of detection of an X-ray quantum. Elementary parts of their readout system are 9-bit flash-ADCs, multiplying DACs and EPROMs
