Guide to the data-acquisition software of the Doublet III computer system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6179455
The Doublet III tokamak fusion experiment acquires, processes and archives over two megabytes of experimental data from each tokamak shot, which occurs every five to seven minutes. The computer codes that accomplish this acquisition begin execution immediately on reboot of the computer system and continue throughout the preacquisition stage before a tokamak shot, the actual acquisiton stage when the shot is fired, and the post-acquisition or analysis stage. This document is intended to serve as a guide to the software of the Doublet III data acquisition system and discusses the interaction of the computer codes with each other as well as with data base files, data files, and global tables. Detailed descriptions of these files and tables are given along with methods of modification.
