Abstract

Use of digital computers for the analysis of data from diagnostics of fusion experiments has resulted in a wide range of digital data recording systems of varying accuracies and speeds. The system described is capable of use in a wide range of applications, being able to convert samples of analogue signals into 10 bit digital codes at a minimum interval between samples of 100 ns. The relative timing between samples may be defined in a versatile sequence generator to be between 100 ns and approximately 30 years. Storage has been provided for a minimum of 4 K samples, this number being extendable to a maximum of 64 K samples. The transient recorder is formed by a series of CAMAC modules, permitting extensive computer control of the recorder. Details of the system performance are also included.
