Abstract
For the first time an electrostatic method of wire tension measurement (WTM) is used for drift chamber construction. It became possible due to the use of a digital approach to sense the wire oscillations induce d by an alternating potential. The method has excellent signal-to-nois e ratio, high accuracy which is well above the stringing requirements and reasonable measuring time. The WTM system implemented in a CAMAC-M achintosh-Labview environment is now in use for the KLOE drift chamber stringing control and for monitoring the end-plate deformation.
