Abstract :
The Time Projection Chamber has operated in the PEP colliding beams at SLAC since January 1982. Its signal processing system, containing 16020 channels, has been calibrated and monitored using a computer-controlled test pulser system. We describe the test system and review measurements made with the system of signal processing electronics.
