Abstract
A focal-plane polarimeter (FPP) for the large acceptance Big-Bite Spectrometer (BBS) at AGOR using a novel readout architecture has been commissioned at the KVI Groningen. The instrument is optimize for medium-energy polarized proton scattering near or at 0 degrees . For the handling of the high counting rates at extreme forward angles and for the suppression of small-angle scattering in the g aphite analyzer, a high-performance data processing DSP system connecting to the LeCroy FERA and PCOS ECL bus architecture has been made operational and tested successfully. Details of the system an the functions of the various electronic components are described. (12 References).
