An intelligent remote control system based on a power distribution unit(PDU) and Arduino has been designed for the electron cyclotron emission imaging(ECEI) system on Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST). This intelligent system has three major functions:ECEI system reboot, measurement region adjustment and signal amplitude optimization. The observation region of ECEI can be modified for different physics proposals by remotely tuning the optical and electronics systems. Via the remote adjustment of the attenuation level, the ECEI intermediate frequency signal amplitude can be efficiently optimized. The remote control system provides a feasible and reliable solution for the improvement of signal quality and the efficiency of the ECEI diagnostic system, which is also valuable for other diagnostic systems.
