Abstract
In order to fully exploit new detectors, such as the EEV42, the ING is in the process of upgrading to the SDSU II CCD controller. A total of 15 single CCD and mosaic cameras are to be updated. This paper presents the way in which the SDSU II is being implemented at ING, the progress made and the experience gained.
