Abstract: With the development of J-TEXT device, the original data acquisition system can’t meet the experiment’s requirement on stability, modularity and sampling rate, so a new data acquisition system needs to be built. This paper introduces the design and implementation of the distributed Tokamak synchronous high-speed data acquisition system based on PXI Express. The acquisition unit consists of PXIe case NI PXIe-1062Q, PXIe controller NI PXIe-8133 and high-speed synchronous data acquisition card NI PXIe-6368, compatible with the latest standard of ITER CODAC, so it has good mechanical sealing, strong modularity and high sampling rate etc. The system takes a synchronous difference acquisition for diagnosis signal. The data storage adopts MDSplus which is the general database in the nuclear fusion field. The test and experimental results show that the system can work continuously and stably at 2 MSps sampling rate, and meet the requirement of experiment device’s operation well.
