摘要
A data acquisition and control (DAC) system has been developed for the solid hydrogen pellet injection system. This injector is a gas gun type injector, where solid hydrogen pellet ice is formed using a closed cycle cryocooler, and high-pressure helium gas or a pneumatic punch is used to dislodge the pellet. The DAC system is based on National Instrument's embedded controller NI PXIe-8133, along with associated I/O DAC cards and the LabVIEW application. A graphical user interface (GUI) developed using LabVIEW software allows users to remotely control the pellet formation and injection process. The data is stored locally on a desktop computer or in cloud storage for further analysis. The images of the injected pellet were obtained by using a Phantom V-1210 high-speed camera at 100-Killo FPS, which reveals the size and speed of the pellet. The developed DAC system provides the flexibility needed to operate the injector remotely during the plasma discharge in a tokamak environment. The injector setup system has been successfully tested in a test bench operation, and it will be integrated with the ADITYA-U tokamak.
