  • Abstract
    A description is given of a system that has been built and operated for distributing high voltage to 2000 channels of proportional chambers in the gas calorimeters of the CDF detector. The system consists of CAMAC-based controllers and distribution modules in the Rabbit hardware standard developed at Fermilab. Current monitoring to 1 nA and remote disconnect are available on each channel.<>
