  The data acquisition console is an important component of the EAST data
acquisition system which provides unified data acquisition and long-term data
storage for diagnostics. The data acquisition console is used to manage the
data acquisition configuration information and control the data acquisition
workflow. The data acquisition console has been developed many years, and with
increasing of data acquisition nodes and emergence of new control nodes, the
function of configuration management has become inadequate. It is going to
update the configuration management function of data acquisition console. The
upgraded data acquisition console based on LabVIEW should be oriented to the
data acquisition administrator, with the functions of managing data acquisition
nodes, managing control nodes, setting and publishing configuration parameters,
batch management, database backup, monitoring the status of data acquisition
nodes, controlling the data acquisition workflow, and shot simulation data
acquisition test. The upgraded data acquisition console has been designed and
under testing recently.
