Abstract
The bakelite Resistive Plate Counters (RPC) for the COVER-PLASTEX expe riment have been tested with special tracking & timing electronics dev eloped by the T&T collaboration for use as a front-end electronics abl e to give position and arrival time for each particle in the EAS front crossing the detector. Results on single counting rate, efficiency, t ime resolution, signal shape and afterpulse presence are given as a fu nction of the high voltage and input signal threshold.
