design will use the MITdeveloped MDSplus software for data acquisition, data
archivinganddisplay.
Thissystemwill:
Be a shot mode time system where initialization sequences are started
before the experimental discharge and data archival iscompleted at some
periodafterthedischarge.
Support shots dedicated to an individual systems test or calibration
function.
Achieve high performance and fault tolerance by storing all experimental
dataonreliablestorageunits.
