The analysis of impurity radiation from Tokamak plasmas is one of the most important diagnostics, allowing the measurement of the impurity concentrations, radiation losses and particle transport studies. This study requires simultaneous time-resolved observation of spectral lines from many ionization states for each element. The most intense and important lines are the He and H-like resonance transitions of Oxygen and Carbon and Δn = 0, 1 transitions of highly ionized metallic impurities. These emmissions have been recorded on PLT and TFTR tokamaks by means of a soft X-ray multichannel spectrometer (SOXMOS).
