The new spectroscopic method for measurement of hot plasma parameters is developed. The method based on Hα profile monitoring. The profile was accurately calculated for a wide range of plasma parameters (ne∼1014÷1017 cm−3, Te∼1÷500 eV,) Use of the method in the experiment gives the electron density and ion temperature dependence from the time. Measurements was in a good agreement with diamagnetic loop dates.
