The MIT data-acquisition and physics analysis system was designed to provide high throughput and ready access to data from any run. The system is based on a VAX 11/750 which is to be configured in a VAX cluster back-end network. The front end for the data system is a kinetic system CAMAC serial highway interface. Preexisting software packages have been combined into a coherent system which has required a minimum of new software development. The acquisition, archiving, basic analysis, and display of 1.5 Mbyte of data for every shot is accomplished once every 5-8 minutes with any shot being easily reanalyzed. A set of standard tools is provided for use in user-written programs several of which are incorporated into the production system. The range of interactive analysis options is illustrated by using the medium-energy x-ray diagnostic in one anchor as an example. The resulting physics analysis includes intercomparison with other diagnostics to compute T/sub e/, the fraction of hot electrons, and other plasma parameters.
