Archiving Doublet III Neutral Beam Data for Offline Analysis and Access

摘要

The neutral beam injectors at GA Technologies operate with a short time interval between pulses. This is intended to keep the injectors conditioned for optimum efficiency. The time required is affected by, but not restricted to, the time required to acquire diagnostic data. The short interval between pulses restricts any in-depth online analysis of the data acquired. The data is archived to tape and transferred to the computer in the GA Technologies User Service Center for later in-depth offline analysis. The archieved tapes are constructed with the same format as the Doublet III Data Acquisition System archived data tapes. This procedure allows the neutral beam data to be archived on the computer in the Users Service Center with the same processing programs and analyzed with any general analysis programs used on the Doublet III Data Acquisition archived tapes.
