Abstract
The focal-plane polarimeter (FPP) for the big-bite spectrometer van den Berg (1995) 637ff at the KVI requires the read-out of four large-area MWPCs and two VDCs with 3872 wires in total. The EUROSUP RNOVA collaboration (SNOVA) developed a digital 16 channel preamplifier front-end board, housing two amplifier-shaper-discriminator chips ASD-8 B. The main features of this board are a fast single-w re readout, a high integration density, a low power consumption and compatibility to common instrumentation standards. The board represents the first successfully running application of the ASD-8 fo wire chamber readout. (10 References).
