Abstract
Measurement of plasma and key first wall parameters will have three main roles on ITER. Some of the measurements will be used in real time to prevent the on-set of conditions which could potentially damage the first wall and other in-vessel components (machine protection); others will be used in real-time feedback control loops to control the value of key parameters at values required for specific plasma performance (plasma control); while others will be used to evaluate the plasma performance and to provide information on key phenomena which may limit ITER performance (physics studies). The measurements of some parameters may contribute to all three roles although the requirements on the measurements (accuracies, resolutions etc.) may be different depending on the role.
