  Multianode gas counter is used as a detector for low intensity proton beam diagnostics at INR RAS linac. The device consists of ionization chamber to measure beam current and two proportional chambers, based on stripe geometry, to measure beam profiles. The data is processed with Labview software. The models and methods predicting operational characteristics of the counter in ionization and proportional mode are presented. An analytical model of recombination was tested to predict the saturation voltage for ionization mode. Beam test results and operational characteristics of the counter are presented as well as results of investigations of counter degradation under the beam. A new design of a gas filled counter is also discussed.
