Abstract
We describe the electronics and data acquisition system of the 4 pi li ght particle multidetector array DIAMANT. This system has been conceiv ed to be very modular with regard to both the kind and number of detec tors. The whole system is designed to run either with a few additional ancillary detectors (Ge) or linked to 4 pi gamma arrays such as EUROG AM. Part of the electronics has been designed using SMD devices; the a cquisition is based on CAMAC ADCs and VME units for data acquisition, data transfer is handled via a 32bit ECL bus (DT32) used for EUROGAM. The data acquisition, distributed on a network, is based on the VxWork s Real Time kernel and the UNIX Operating System.
