Data acquisition for PLT

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4111552
DA/PLT, the data acquisition system for the Princeton Large Torus (PLT) fusion research device, consists of a PDP-10 host computer, five satellite PDP- 11s connected to the host by a special high-speed interface, miscellaneous other minicomputers and commercially supplied instruments, and much PPPL produced hardware. The software consists of the standard PDP-10 monitor with local modifications and the special systems and applications programs to customize the DA/PLT for the specific job of supporting data acquisition, analysis, display, and archiving, with concurrent off-line analysis, program development, and, in the background, general batch and timesharing. Some details of the over-all architecture are presented, along with a status report of the different PLT experiments being supported. (auth)
