The study of runaway electrons (RE) dynamics in present-day tokamak experiments requires the analysis of the RE momentum-space distribution function. Synchrotron radiation (SR) imaging using multispectral systems has proven capable of providing this information in TCV and AUG. For this purpose, the multispectral imaging system MANTIS consisting of 6 filtered cameras is being commissioned in AUG.

Technical considerations, such as filter wavelength, view port location, neutron flux, among others, have to be taken into account for the installation of the system. Synthetic images for the corresponding wavelengths and views are simulated using the SOFT synthetic diagnostic framework.

To validate the system performance and resilience in real conditions, a first commissioning phase was pursued. The first images of a RE synchrotron spot using a multispectral imaging system in AUG are presented.
