VINETA.II is an experimental device suitable for the investigation of magnetic reconnection in laboratory plasmas. A fast-swept (100 kHz) Langmuir probe is used to reconstruct electron temperature, electron density, and plasma potential profiles with about 10 microsecond time-step. A magnetic probe is used to reconstruct the magnetic field, current density, and inductive electric field profiles with about 1 microsecond time-step. Both diagnostics have a length-resolution of 1 cm. The evolution of both a stationary ECRH background plasma and a transient electron-gun plasma can be observed within a 300 microsecond timeframe. Reconstructed profiles are interpreted within the framework of MHD. The results are discussed in relation to a future upgrade of the experiment aimed at investigating the propagation of the reconnection signal in different conditions.
