A method is proposed for measuring the directed velocity of the plasma ions through the use of a scanning Fabry--Perot interferometer. The poloidal velocity of impurity oxygen ions has been measured under ohmic-heating conditions in the URAGAN-2 stellarator. The measurements show that the plasma ions have a velocity (1--3) x 10/sup 5/ cm/s in the direction of the diamagnetic electron drift.
