The acquisition system for Tore Supra 1000 s discharges

Abstract Long duration discharges are planned for Tore Supra in the near future. A study has been made to detect and correct all the possible limitations of the data acquisition system. Results and analysis of a few 1000 s ‘dry-run’ test pulses are presented in this paper as well as the solutions foreseen for Tore Supra.
