Abstract
The paper presents the readout system for the 18432 channels of the HA DES shower detector. The readout system consists of an analog front-en d ASIC for the readout of the pad multiwire chamber, a resdout control ler board, the so-called readout board for collection and digitization of the analog information from the ASIC and an optical link system fo r the data transfer. The readout system is designed to cope with event rate of 10(5) events/s and a data transfer rate of 1.9 Gbyte/s. Utili zing a multistage fast multiplexing system, the cost per channel is ke pt on the level of $5. Recent results from a test experiment confirm t he intended performance of the readout system.
