摘　　要：Probe manipulators are a versatile addition to typical plasma edge diagnostics.Equipped with material samples they allow for detailed investigation of plasma–wall interaction processes,such as material erosion,deposition or impurity transport pathways.When combined with electrical probes,a study of scrape-off layer and plasma edge density,temperature and flow profiles as well as magnetic topologies is possible.A mid-plane manipulator is already in operation on Wendelstein 7-X.A system in the divertor region is currently under development.In the present paper we discuss the critical issue of heat and power loads,power redistribution and experimental access to the complex magnetic topology of Wendelstein 7-X.All the aforementioned aspects are of relevance for the design and operation of a probe manipulator in a device like Wendelstein？7-X.A focus is put on the topological region that is accessible for the different coil current configurations at Wendelstein 7-X and the power load on the manipulator with respect to the resulting different magnetic configurations.Qualitative analysis of power loads on plasma-facing components is performed using a numerical tracer particle diffusion tool provided via the Wendelstein 7-X Webservices.Probe manipulators are a versatile addition to typical plasma edge diagnostics.Equipped with material samples they allow for detailed investigation of plasma–wall interaction processes,such as material erosion,deposition or impurity transport pathways.When combined with electrical probes,a study of scrape-off layer and plasma edge density,temperature and flow profiles as well as magnetic topologies is possible.A mid-plane manipulator is already in operation on Wendelstein 7-X.A system in the divertor region is currently under development.In the present paper we discuss the critical issue of heat and power loads,power redistribution and experimental access to the complex magnetic topology of Wendelstein 7-X.All the aforementioned aspects are of relevance for the design and operation of a probe manipulator in a device like Wendelstein？7-X.A focus is put on the topological region that is accessible for the different coil current configurations at Wendelstein 7-X and the power load on the manipulator with respect to the resulting different magnetic configurations.Qualitative analysis of power loads on plasma-facing components is performed using a numerical tracer particle diffusion tool provided via the Wendelstein 7-X Webservices.
