1.Architecture

Magnetic diagnostics mainly use electromagnetic induction probe to measure the magnetic field, magnetic flux and other signals around the plasma. A large number of plasma parameters can be obtained from magnetic diagnostics signal processing and calculation. It is one of the basic diagnostics of the device.

2. Function

• Define the plasma equilibrium.
• For operation, real time control and disruption protection.
• Understanding of basic plasma behaviors.
• MHD study (probes, saddle coils)
• Other transient electromagnetic behaviors

3. Probe types and functions

• Rogowski coils to measure plasma current
• Rogowski coils to measure poloidal field current
• Magnetic probes to measure magnetic field
• Mirnov coils to measure MHD
• Flux loops to measure magnetic flux and loop voltage
• Diamagnetic loops to measure plasma energy and BETAP
• Rogowski coil to measure HALO current
• Focs sensor to measure poloidal field current

4. Upgrade information

In 2020-2021，all the probes in vacuum vessel have been upgraded base on the requirement of Internal structural modification.
