Data acquisition system for REPUTE-1

The data acquisition system for REPUTE-1 (reversed field pinch University of Tokyo experiment : plasma experimental device) using a 32-bit superminicomputer ''TOSBAC'' data system 600 was developed and started its operation. The CAMAC (computer automated measurement and control) system that has a large capability of modification is used as the interface between the plasma diagnostic devices and the data acquisition computer. A plasma data acquisition system that is very easy and flexible to operate has been practicalized by facilitating the procedure to modify the plasma diagnostic devices and by preparing enough functions of data display and data search.
