The authors report the preliminary test results on the performance of a device specially designed for the imaging of X rays at a very high data rate. A prototype having 256 read-out channels has been built and tested in our lab. The detector is a two step parallel plate chamber. The anode is made up of a chess-board of pads, onto which a thin germanium layer is evaporated to restore the electrical continuity. Each individual pad can be read out independently on the back of the board.
