Data Processing and Acquisition System for the HT-7 Multipulse Thomson Scattering Diagnostic

摘要

This article describes the data processing and acquisition system for the HT-7 mul-tipulse Thomson scattering diagnostic. An eight-pulse laser is used in the Thomson scatteringsystem to obtain electron temperature profiles at eight different times throughout an entire plasmadischarge. The major components of the diagnostic system consist of a multipulse Nd-glass laser,system. The data processing software along with LeCroy 2250L will perform the data acquisition.In order to simplify the operation and extend the capability of its compatibility with other mathsoftwares, the processing software has been improved by the authors. The new software based onthe VC++ easily utilizes some math softwares to calculate the electron temperature. The newsoftware is simpler and more operational than the old one.
