List of (some) MDSplus Events used on NSTX

The following MDSplus events are used on NSTX, but the list is not complete (there is no way to track events and any user can declare any event). Some of the following are used in scopes in the /p/nstxops/util/scopes directory or in the MDSplus Event Management System (MEMS) listed in /p/tdi/nstxops/bin/MEMS/NSTX_DEPENDENCIES.MEMS (as of 2017). (MDSplus event names are not case-sensitive.)

MDSplus events can be monitored from IDL using monevents.pro.

To add events to this list, or explanations for uses for these events, send e-mail to nstxops or Gretchen Zimmer.
