A general introduction to the CAMAC Standard has been given specifying the mechanical and electrical signal requirements. The variety of signal types that can propagate along the dataway of the CAMAC system were also reviewed. Through the crate controller an attached computer may send or receive signals from a module contained within the CAMAC crate. Introduced to complement the NIM system when the requirements for computer control and monitoring became more demanding, CAMAC has emerged as one of the two standard systems for use in nuclear and particle physics. Due to the ever increasing rate and volume of data being accumulated in today's detectors the upper limit of CAMAC's capability is being reached and indicates the need for faster systems (such as FASTBUS) to be employed.
