AbstractThe overview on the recent status and future plan of plasma diagnostics and data acquisition for LHD is briefly described. According to the successful starting of LHD experiments on March 31, 1998, the diagnostics have also launched in the adequate pace with providing the necessary basic data for plasma performance analysis. For this, the LHD data acquisition system, handling large amounts of data, is playing an important role in the experiment and data analysis.
