Abstract

A complete electronics system has been developed, from the preamplifiers up to the readout and control interface, for the cathode strip chambers of the BBS spectrometer. The system is based on application specifics D-size VXI modules. The size of electronics has been reduced by the use of small surface mounted daughter boards. Flat topped-pulse is produced with a new time-variant filter. In all modules, ADCs 16-bit and FIFO memory are followed by a Digital Signal Processor, which performs data filtering and cathode induced charge interpolation. Good analog noise performance is obtained in multi-processor environment
