Computer support of a tokamak fusion experiment for the purpose of data acquisition, analysis, and archiving required handling the large amounts of data generated each shot, and presenting the data for both individual diagnostic experiments and shot summary in a timely and useful manner. A distributed computer system with processing at three levels supports General Atomic's Doublet III tokamak by providing: (1) acquisition and permanent archiving of all diagnostic data, (2) analysis and control for each physics diagnostic, (3) overall shot summary after each shot, and (4) detailed analysis of current and post shot data.
