  The non-destructive beam position monitor (BPM) is an indispensable diagnostic tool for the stable beam operation. In the KEK linac, approximately nineteen BPMs with the strip-line type electrodes are used for the beam orbit measurement and orbit feedback. In addition, some of them are also used for the beam energy feedback loops. The current DAQ system consists of the digital oscilloscopes and the VME computers. They are connected with the GPIB, and a signal from each electrode is analyzed with a predetermined response function once per second by a VME computer that is connected to the upper-layer control servers via Ethernet. The KEKB injector linac is planned to be upgraded to perform the simultaneous injection for 4-rings. In this operation mode, a fast DAQ system is strongly required. In the current system, maximum DAQ rate is strictly limited by the oscilloscope performance, and it should be improved for the 50-Hz measurement. For these reasons, we made the decision to replace the current DAQ system with the fast digital oscilloscope. In this paper, we will present the system description of the new DAQ system, and the detailed result of the performance test will be presented.
