'''CAMAC''' ('''Computer-Aided Measurement And Control''') is a standard bus and modular-crate electronics standard for data acquisition and control used in particle detectors for nuclear and particle physics and in industry. The bus allows data exchange between plug-in modules (up to 24 in a single crate) and a crate controller, which then interfaces to a PC or to a VME-CAMAC interface.

The standard was originally defined by the ESONE Committee as standard EUR 4100 in 1972, and covers the mechanical, electrical, and logical elements of a parallel bus (dataway) for the plug-in modules. Several standards have been defined for multiple crate systems, including the Parallel Branch Highway definition and Serial Highway definition. Vendor-specific Host/Crate interfaces have also been built.

 Modules are addressed by slot number; the left-most 22 slots are available for application modules while the right-most two slots are dedicated to a crate controller. A slot is commanded by the controller with one of 32 function codes (0–31); of these, 0–7 are read functions and will transfer data to the controller, while 16–23 are write function codes.
