AB  - The Group for the development of neutron and gamma detectors in the Central Institute of Engineering,    Electronics and Analytics (ZEA-2) at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) has developed, in collaboration with   European institutes, an Anger Camera prototype for improving the impact point reconstruction of neutron    tracks. The detector is a chamber filled with $^3He$+$CF_4$ gas for neutron capture and subsequent    production of a tritium and a proton. The energy deposition by the ions gives rise to drifting electrons    with an avalanche amplification as they approach a micro-strip anode structure. The scintillating light, generated    during the electron drift and avalanche stage, is collected by four vacuum photomultipliers. The position    reconstruction is performed via software algorithms. The JUDIDT readout electronics was modified at ZEA-2    to cope with the data acquisition requirements of the prototype. The results of the commissioning of the    electronics are here presented and commented.
