PXI based vacuum control for testing various components of SST-1

Abstract

Vacuum system of steady-state Superconducting Tokamak (SST-1) has a very essential role during SST-1 plasma operation. For this purpose, its data acquisition and control system should be reliable and accurate. The PXI based faster real time data acquisition and control system were used for performing various operations like online data measurements, control, display, status indication in form of graphical visualization and storing the data for future analysis. We developed such PXI based vacuum control and implemented to our ongoing experimental set-up. This paper will describe the detailed information and guidance on PXI based platform for data acquisition and control used during the campaign.
