This article describes hardware and software solutions to a need which is comprised of (i) acquisition of a large volume of high speed data with multiple time scales, (ii) control of various operational parameters of device and diagnostics, and (iii) processing and management of the acquired data for a large volume plasma device. The solution relies on the base of a VXI bus and uses a standard PC with a Windows 98/NT operating system and C as the programming language. The system is networked with the existing network with the result of allowing a large data storage space of processing facilities from any terminal in the laboratory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
