An update is being conducted on the TCABR tokamak, which is a small tokamak (R0 = 0.62 m and a = 0.2 m) operated at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. This update mainly consists of the installation of (i) graphite tiles to fully cover the inner surface of the vacuum vessel wall, (ii) new poloidal field (PF) coils to allow the generation of various diversion configurations, such as single-...
With the development of EAST physics experiment, more and more diagnostic signals need to be acquired in real-time for advanced plasma control. Due to the distributed characteristics of diagnostic systems, different types of data acquisition device with suitable sampling rate need to be deployed nearby the diagnostic signals. In order to obtain these distributed signals effectively and...
The SPIDER experiment is the first of two experiments being held at the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility in Padova (Italy). SPIDER has been operating since 2018, initially with pulse duration of a few seconds and currently with pulses lasting up to 3000s. SPIDER CODAS uses the MDSplus data acquisition and management system that is well suited to stream data acquisition thanks to the powerful...
The RedPitaya board represents an alternative to many expensive laboratory measurement and control systems. It hosts a Zynq system composed of an ARM processor deeply integrated into a configurable FPGA, two 125MHz RF inputs and outputs and 14-bit Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converters.
Due to its flexibility, RedPitaya has been considered for a variety of advanced diagnostic...
