EFIT Outputs
Executing Overview | Inputs | Outputs | I/O Files | Input Variables | Singals in MDSplus
Three main output files are generated after each run. An A EQDSK file, a G EQDSK file, and a FITOUT.DAT file. The A files can be combined into an E(shot).FIT file for plotting with REVIEW using the post processor SUMMARD, which can also be used for a summary of the plasma parameters in the A files. A new software tool called eqview is available on most local HPs to visualize and tabulate EFIT output A_EQDSK files, as well as E0 files from SUMMARD. Information on the flux surfaces and magnetic field can be accessed using the G EQDSK file with the processor PLOTMED. Additionally, a set of q0 files summarizing various plasma profile information can also be obtained by setting KWRIPRE=1 in the input file.
Output Files
| A EQDSK | Contains global parameters, mainly scalar values. Output from file mode or snap(_ext) mode (2,3,7) runs.
|
| G EQDSK | Contains mainly arrays of calculated values such as flux on grid, ff', p', q profile. Output from file mode or snap(_ext) mode (2,3,7) runs.
|
| K file | Output from EFIT input mode (5) run. It will be a self-contained input file for EFIT file mode (2) run. See input namelists for more detail.
|
| X file | Output from EFIT input mode run with fixed boundary solution. It can be used for free boundary input in file mode run. See input namelists for more detail.
|
| M file | Output from input mode run with free boundary solution. Contains simulated magnetic diagnostic data which can be used as input to fitting solution.
|
| q0 file | Pressure and q profiles if set KWRIPRE=1 in input file.
|
| s0 file | Pressure and q profiles in normalized flux space if set KWRIPRE=2 in input file.
|
| Measurement file | Contains MSE, magnetic measurements and their corresponding calculated values. Output if IOUT is set to 2 or 4.
|
| FITOUT.DAT | diagnostics?
|
| PLTOUT.OUT | graphic data file. See a sample of processed plots.
|
| RSTARKXX.DAT | Calculate Green's function file for MSE data. Can reuse on next run and save computation time.
|
| ESAVE.DAT |

Graphics
PLTOUT.OUT is a graphic data file written by EFIT if ITEK=5 or >10 in the input file. If ITEK>100, a pltout.out equivalent P(shot).(time) will be written for each timeslice. The processed plots show a cross section of the equilibrium, several types of plasma parameter profiles, and printed values of many plasma parameters. To process this file,
- on VAX, use post processor EFIT:PLOT
- on HP-UX, from command line
1> cp p(shot).(time) pltout.out - if P(shot).(time) created as pltout.out
2> /link/efit/plotc - generate gmeta from pltout.out
31> /d/tools/xview -c gmeta - view gmeta on X window, or
32> /d/tools/tekview -c gmeta - view gmeta on Tek window, or
33> /d/tools/cgmplot -c gmeta - send gmeta to the default printer
Alternatives,
232> /link/efit/tek - combines lines 2> and 32>
233> /link/efit/plotps - combines 2> and 33>, but to LPS4
- on HP-UX, from run_efit window, use Graphics/PLTOUT.OUT/Update&View to send the plots to the destination selected from Graphics/Send_to... Note that above step 1> is still needed if it is P(shot).(time).
PLOTMED - a graphical processor of G EQDSK.
EQVIEW - a tool to visulize and tabulate A EQDSKs and E files from SUMMARD.
EFITD and PLOTMED can also generate a plot file 55MFIT.POP on VAX which can be viewed on the screen or sent to a QMS printer using the processor EFIT:DISTEK and the command procedure EFIT:PLOTQ1.COM (or PLOTQ21.COM for a compressed plot). PLOTMED can also be used to generate the flux plot from the G EQDSK and can be activated using the command file EFIT:EPLOTQ1.
