Abstract
Real-time control of the gyrotron output power has been obtained by control ling the gyrotron cathode voltage. This control system has been used to exp lore feedback control of global and local plasma parameters. A description is given of technical set-up and of the results, which include control of t he electron temperature T-e with excellent time response and successful sta bilization of m/n = 2/1 modes in case of cw injection.
