Control and data acquisition software upgrade for JET gamma-ray diagnostics

The Joint European Torus (JET), the largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment in operation, has a large amount of key diagnostics for physics exploration and machine operation, which include several Gamma-Ray Diagnostics. The Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS), Gamma Camera (GC) and Gamma-Ray Spectrometer Upgrade (GSU) diagnostics have similar Control and Data Acquisition Systems (CDAQ) based on the Advanced Telecommunication Computing Architecture standard, featuring Field Programmable Gate Arrays for data processing and management.
