Abstract :
Instrumenting the new AGS (Alternating Gradient Synchrotron) Booster required the construction of a great deal of support electronics for many beam monitoring devices. Modules providing generic functions such as amplification, integration, sample and hold, etc., were designed and packaged so as to provide maximum flexibility in the implementation of typical instrumentation tasks. The authors describe these modules and include some specific examples of how they have been combined to perform certain functions. Several unique features of the packaging are described.<>
