The TARA Tandem Mirror Experiment has recently begun operation. The set of diagnostics available at this time is discussed. The following diagnostics are now in use: diamagnetic loops, a multi-chord microwave interferometer, Langmuir and emissive probes, pick-up loops, and secondary emission detectors. Endloss diagnostics include net current detector arrays, Faraday cup arrays, swept particle analyzer arrays, and calorimetry. Light emission measurements are made in the visible and VUV regions. A multi-chord fiber-optic array for plasma position detection is also used. In addition, a 3-channel charge-exchanger analyzer, a hard x-ray system, and fast pressure gauges are available.
