	'''CAMAC''' ('''Computer Automated Measurement and Control'''; also given as '''Computer-Aided Measurement And Control''' in some sources) is a standard [[bus]] and modular-crate electronics standard for [[data acquisition]] and control. It was widely used in particle detectors for nuclear and particle physics, and also 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.
