Instrumentation interfacing and parameters monitoring for underwater neutrino telescope

One of the tasks of an electronic system designed to monitor environmental parameters is to provide the user with a point-to-point connection to several remotely located instruments and probes. In this paper, we describe in detail the electronics developed to fulfill this task. Environmental parameters generally vary slowly in time such that the overall data rate needed to monitor their time dependency do not exceed few tens of kb/s. For this reason, we called the electronic board devoted to their monitoring ‘Slow Control Interface’.
