Data Acquisition in the ITER Ion Source Experiment

The Ion Source experiment, called SPIDER, is the first experiment to be realized in the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility under construction at Consorzio RFX, Padova, Italy. Its data acquisition system will provide the collection of around one thousand signals at a sampling rate ranging from a few Sample/s to 10 MSample/s and of diagnostics and inspection images produced at a frame frequency from 10 to 150 frame per second, for beam durations of up to one hour.
