A new control module for the MAST-Upgrade Langmuir Probe system has been developed. It is based on a Xilinx Zynq FPGA, which allows for excellent configurability and ease of retrieving data. The module is capable of arbitrary bias voltage waveform ge... Read More about A compact, smart Langmuir Probe control module for MAST-Upgrade.

An FPGA-Based Bolometer for the MAST-U Super-X Divertor (2016)
Journal Article
Lovell, J., Naylor, G., Field, A., Drewelow, P., & Sharples, R. (2016). An FPGA-Based Bolometer for the MAST-U Super-X Divertor. Review of Scientific Instruments, 87(11), Article 11E721. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4961556

A new resistive bolometer system has been developed for MAST-Upgrade. It will measure radiated power in the new Super-X divertor, with millisecond time resolution, along 16 vertical and 16 horizontal lines of sight. The system uses a Xilinx Zynq-7000...
