<p>

The National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) will have a complete set of magnetics diagnostics to constrain equilibrium reconstructions and for plasma control. 
The flux loops laying on the exterior surface of the vacuum vessel, and the flux loops co-wound with the field coils must be installed during machine construction because they will later be inaccessible. Designs and installation techniques for these diagnostics are described.
