The implementation of the Wendelstein 7-X control a data acquisition concepts at VUV/XUV overview spectrometers HEXOS

HEXOS (high efficiency extreme ultraviolet overview spectrometer) is an optimized set of four efficient VUV/XUV spectrometers. It is suitable for a complete coverage of the wavelength range of interest with sufficient spectral resolution. The spectrometers cover the entire wavelength range of 2.5–160 nm with high performance (up to 9999 spectra at spectra rate of 1000 s^?1). To operate according to the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) control and data acquisition guidelines all necessary concepts for safety, autonomous and subordinated operation, and segment program controlled experiment operation will be implemented at HEXOS. The design of the HEXOS control and data acquisition system and the implementation of the main W7-X control and data acquisition concepts are described. An outlook on the test phase at the TEXTOR (Tokamak Experiment for Technology Oriented Research) device and the commissioning phase at W7-X is given.
