Description

An extensive magnetic measurement system (MMS) which contains 1201 sensors is developed for the new large reversed-field pinch machine, TPE-RX. The system facilitates a variety of magnetic signals for axisymmetric information to obtain equilibrium profiles as well as for nonaxisymmetric information of the magnetic perturbation mode spectra. The system is now routinely in operation for physics experiments on TPE-RX. The physical quantities obtained from the system, locations and specifications of coils and loops, calibration, the method of managing large amounts of data and examples of data are reported.
