Abstract	Muons from interactions in the Big European Bubble Chamber (BEBC) are identified by a 6 x 25 m2 array of multiwire proportional chambers. The physics requirements posed some special problems for the on-line handling of data from these chambers. In addition, the use of the system as a facility for many experiments dictates a high level of automation of monitoring and testing. This has been achieved under the control of the on-line computer employing a conversational interaction with the user.
