The Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center collides electrons and positrons produced in the linear accelerator pulse by pulse. We determine the energy of each beam by measuring the angle of deflection of the beam in the SLC extraction lines. Each extraction line consists of two bending magnets that produce synchrotron radiation, and a spectrometer analyzing magnet that deflects the beam. We detect the synchrotron light by using the emission of electrons produced by Compton scattering off Cu-Be wires. We detect the {approximately} 180 fC of charge on the wire by using the electronics system described in this paper. We also discuss the performance of the system, including the equivalent noise charge, cross-talk between channels, stability, and reliability. 4 refs., 7 figs.
