This paper describes the electrical probe diagnostic system used to measure the relevant parameters of the plasma column generated in the Novillo tokamak, and an inexpensive and fast data acquisition system that consists of 16 independent channels, 8 bit resolution, sampling frequency of 500 kHz, and 8 kword memory per channel. A distributed, modular and transparent approach was used for designing the software-operated data acquisition, diagnostic, and capacitor banks triggering systems, satisfying the pulsed nature of the tokamak discharge. Through a personal computer, the experimental data are available to engineers and physicists in a centralized database. |
