Plasma parameters - Langmuir probeA Langmuir probe was used to studythe temporal and spatial variation ofthe plasma parameterselectron densityelectron energyplasma potentialThe Langmuir probemade of a stainless steel wire,200 µm in diameter and 5 mm longThe voltage and current was measuredwith a 12-bit A/D converterFor each voltage step the currentdrawn by the probe was measured as afunction of time
