A high energy physics experiment has been performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory on K/sup 0/ /SUB L/ + 2..pi../sup 0/ decays employing a large (> 200 element) lead glass array as an electromagnetic calorimeter. To acquire pulse height information from the detector the authors have constructed ADC modules in the context of the Brookhaven FASTBUS data acquisition system. Digitization (8 bits) and encoding, including pedestal subtraction and data sparsing, is achieved for each 16 channel module in 6 ..mu..sec.
