- Looking into the history of CAMAC crate electronics for physics/high energy setups.
How common were/are they? In what setups were they used?
Hi!
I've done some research on the CAMAC standard of nuclear electronics - "It's like NIM but digital" - as I would like to acquire a bin and some modules for historic and scientific curiosity.
I have never worked with the system, and I would like to get in touch with somebody who has. How common were they ever? And in what experimental setups were they used?
There is a short handbook 'A CAMAC Primer' written and distributed at LANL, which can be found online, but It's not the most helpful text.
Were Europe favoring VMEbus systems over CAMAC? I can find very little evidence of them being used outside of the US.
Any insight would be much appreciated!
