  A pipeline CAMAC controller with PC/104-Plus single board computer has been
developed. The architecture of the pipeline CAMAC controller is completely
different from that of traditional CAMAC controller. The pipeline CAMAC
controller adopted truly pipelined command and data paths from/to computer
memory to/from CAMAC. The pipeline method enabled the controller maximum speed
of CAMAC, approximately up to 3 MB/sec with 24-bit data. The controller also
has a DAQ function such as event numbering for co-existence with other
equipment such as VME. Not only the functionality and the performance but also
the pipeline architecture and the design concept are described.
