  • Abstract
    A data acquisition system using CAMAC hardware and a very basic set of CAMAC rules is described. With a modest effort and at low cost an approximately 1000 bit system has been assembled in a University lab and is now used in a counter-digital spark chamber system. Simple interfacing modules to multichannel Nixi display, printer, incremental tape unit and PDP8 and PDP15 computer are described.
