	High brightness electron beams for inverse Compton backscatter photon sources driven by thermionic microwave guns require real-time position measurements in order to achieve the spatial and temporal coincidence necessary to ensure statistically measurable signals. True logarithmic amplifiers are more adequately suited to signal comparison than are σ-delta methods. A low-cost, modular and scalable readout and data acquisition system for strip-line beam position monitors utilizing the AD640 log-amp is being developed at University of Hawai'i MkV Linear Accelerator and Free Electron Laser Lab. Initial measurements and prototyping of the hardware is complete with commissioning and deployment of the system currently ongoing. We present the methodology and early results of this project.
