The 4 TPC detectors in the heavy ion experiment NA49 at CERN will allow the reconstruction of particle tracks from lead on lead reactions at 160 GeV/c with a very high acceptance. The read out regions of the detectors will consist of more than 200 thousand pads in their final configuration. To allow the read out of time and amplitude information from this big number of channels a highly integrated system of electronics consisting of preamp-shapers, analog storage and digitization devices, and a vme-board with dsp processors for data reduction has been developed. The set-up of the system and results from a first run in December 1994 with 2 of the TPC detectors operational will be presented.
