The accepted trigger rate of modular electronics (e.g. VME) is limited by the per-cycle deadtime. Conventional multi-event readout employs on-module multi-event-buffers to make DMA transfers feasible and reduce the average deadtime. In this talk a generic implementation of a shadow readout scheme is presented, which continuously empties the module buffers into local RAM. This method is capable of reducing the average dead-time to the limit of the module conversion time (few µ s) and allows accepted trigger rates beyond 100 kHz with conventional hardware. It has been used successfully during the last HIE-ISOLDE beam-time and is continuously running since April at the Aarhus 5MV Van de Graaff accelerator. *Supported by the GSI-TU Darmstadt cooperation agreement.
