Abstract
The Focal-Plane Polarimeter (FPP) for the Big-Bite Spectrometer van den Ber g (Nucl Instr. and Meth. B 99 (1995) 637ff) at the KVI requires the read-ou t of four large-area MWPCs and two VDCs with 3872 wires in-total. The EUROS UPERNOVA collaboration (SNOVA) developed a digital 16 channel preamplifier front-end board, housing two amplifier-shaper-discriminatorchips ASD-8 B. T he main features of this board are a fast single-wire readout, a high integ ration density, a low power consumption and compatibility to common instrum entation standards;The board represents the first successfully running appl ication of the ASD-8 for wire chamber readout.
