  'EPECUR' experiment setup is under construction at the beam line 322 of the
ITEP proton synchrotron. The experiment requires several large area drift
chambers to provide reasonable acceptance and fine pitch proportional chambers
for beam particle tracking with total number of electronic channels of about
7000. New compact and cost effective readout system for these gaseous detectors
was designed, prototyped and tested in the latest two years based on the modern
technologies in analog and digital electronics, as well as in data transfer
protocols. Mass production of the proportional chamber electronics is close to
the end, while the boards for the drift chambers are manufactured in the amount
to equip one 8-plane module. The paper presents the functional description of
the whole DAQ system and its main parts together with some of the test results
as an illustration of the excellent performance of the system. The appendix
contains specific information which may be useful for the system users or code
developers.
