    Soft x-ray and bolometric tomography in RFX (1997)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Review of Scientific Instruments 68 (1997), S. 1256-1260

    Notes: The article presents the design and the first results of a new eight camera, soft x-ray (SXR) and bolometric tomography which has been installed in RFX, a large (R=2 m, a=0.46 m), high current reverse field pinch experiment operating in Padova. The main features of the diagnostic, which has been designed with standards compatible with the requirements of large fusion experiments, are: (a) it allows simultaneous reconstruction of both SXR and total radiation emissivity structures with high spatial and time resolution (bandwidth up to 200 kHz for SXR and 10 kHz for bolometry). Moreover, computer controlled remote actions which interchange up to five material filters in front of the detectors allow the exploration of different energy ranges; (b) it can be easily decoupled from the machine without breaking the main vacuum and can be operated during first wall baking up to 300 °C thanks to a cooling circuit; (c) the detection chain is designed to measure very low signals [in the order of 1 nA for SXR diodes and of 100 μV for bolometers]; (d) it is equipped with a VME based 1 MHz data acquisition system which allows on-line processing of a large amount of data. To accomplish these features the diagnostic consists of eight fully remotely controlled manipulators which can insert eight photocameras, carrying 78 top-rated Si SXR and 48 miniaturized metal film bolometric detectors in their operating positions. Initial results are presented. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Signal processing and general purpose data acquisition system for on-line tomographic measurements : Proceedings of the eleventh topical conference on high temperature plasma diagnostics (1997)

    Notes: New analog signal conditioning electronics and data acquisition systems have been developed for the soft x-ray and bolometric tomography diagnostic in the reverse field pinch experiment (RFX). For the soft x-ray detectors the analog signal processing includes a fully differential current to voltage conversion, with up to a 200 kHz bandwidth. For the bolometers, a 50 kHz carrier frequency amplifier allows a maximum bandwidth of 10 kHz. In both cases the analog signals are digitized with a 1 MHz sampling rate close to the diagnostic and are transmitted via a transparent asynchronous xmitter/receiver interface (TAXI) link to purpose built Versa Module Europa (VME) modules which perform data acquisition. A software library has been developed for data preprocessing and tomographic reconstruction. It has been written in C language and is self-contained, i.e., no additional mathematical library is required. The package is therefore platform-free: in particular it can perform online analysis in a real-time application, such as continuous display and feedback, and is portable for long duration fusion or other physical experiments. Due to the modular organization of the library, new preprocessing and analysis modules can be easily integrated in the environment. This software is implemented in RFX over three different platforms: open VMS, digital Unix, and VME 68040 CPU. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
