Overview of the ASDEX-Upgrade Experiment Management Software

Abstract A distributed, multi process program is described that consolidates the operation of the ASDEX-Upgrade computer systems by increasing safety, reliability and simplicity. The program integrates the discharge control system and parts of diagnostics and machine control. It allows a single operator to execute a plasma discharge by means of a graphical user interface. Online input checks together with a centralized report of technical malfunctions are realized for best performance.
