Abstract
The paper presents the readout system for the 18432 channels of the HADES shower detector. The readout system consists of an analog front-end ASIC for the readout of the pad multiwire chamber, a readout controller board, the so-called readout board for collection and digitization of the analog information from the ASIC and an optical link system for the data transfer. The readout system is designed to cope with event rate of 105 events/s and a data transfer rate of 1.9 Gbyte/s. Utilizing a multistage fast multiplexing system, the cost per channel is kept on the level of $5. Recent results from a test experiment confirm the intended performance of the readout system.
