An innovative instrumentation technique is developed to enable precise and efficient positional scans with motorized probe diagnostics, distributed axially radially in Inverse Mirror Plasma Experimental Device (IMPED). The system automates diagnostic operations by positioning the probes, triggering conditioning circuits, acquiring archiving structured data. A client–server based architecture implemented into discrete hierarchical layers enabling remote operation control over Ethernet...
A steady state superconducting tokamak (SST-1) has been commissioned after the successful experimental and engineering validations of its critical sub-systems. During 'engineering validation phase' SST-1; cryostat was demonstrated to be leak-tight in all operational scenarios, 80 K thermal shields were uniformly cooled without regions 'thermal runaway hot spots', toroidal field magnets their nominal conditions charged up 1.5 T at major radius. The further assembled SST-1 machine shell a...

Long pulse (of the order of 1000 s or more) SST-1 tokamak experiments demand a data acquisition system that is capable acquiring from various diagnostics channels without losing useful (and hence physics information) while avoiding unnecessary generation large volume data. Phase-1 operation has been envisaged with several essential channels. These at sampling rate ranging 1 kilo samples per second (KSPS) to mega (MSPS). Considering technical characteristics and requirements diagnostics,...
SST-1 Tokamak has recently completed the 1st phase of up-gradation with successful installation and integration all its First Wall components. The comprises ∼ 3800 high heat flux compatible graphite tiles being assembled installed on 132 CuCrZr sink back plates engraved 4 km leak tight baking cooling channels in five major sub groups equipped 400 sensors weighing 6000 kg total thirteen isolated galvanic six hydraulic circuits. phase-1 spectrum also includes addition Supersonic Molecular Beam...
Runaway electrons (REs) are passively studied by hard x-ray (HX) emissions generated REs. A LaBr3(Ce) detector-based HX spectroscopic diagnostic (operational within ∼75 keV to 3.5 MeV) has been set up on the ADITYA-U. The acquisition software utility is upgraded obtain temporal evolution of spectrum understand RE energy distribution in plasma during its various phases. peak position moves lower for Ohmically heated discharges (200-80 keV), indicating a relative increase thermal particle...
