# External device set-up

The classic BASIC solution: the tokamak control system calls the device.

To do this, we need its address, set up ssh access to it and save a script in bash somewhere on it, with the following defined functions:

~~~~
#!/bin/bash


function GetReadyTheDischarge ()
{
       commands executed at the beginning of charging, i.e. about 1 minute before the discharge
}

function Arming ()
{
        commands executed at the beginning of the discharge countdown, i.e. about 10 seconds before the discharge
}


function PostDischargeAnalysis ()
{
       commands executed after the discharge
}
