  A scalable system for real-time analysis of electron temperature and density
based on Thomson scattering signals, initially developed for and installed on
the NSTX-U experiment, was recently adapted for the Large Helical Device (LHD)
and operated for the first time during plasma discharges. The system consists
of fast digitizers and a server with multiple parallel-operating CPUs, each of
which infers temperature and density values for a spatial point in the LHD
plasma. During its initial operation, it routinely recorded and processed
signals for four spatial points at the laser repetition rate of 30 Hz, well
within the system's rated capability for 60 Hz. We present examples of data
collected from this initial run and describe subsequent adaptations to the
analysis code to improve the fidelity of the temperature calculations.
