AB  - The Multi-Purpose-Manipulator (MPM) situated at the outboard mid-plane is a versatile carrier system for diagnostic probes at Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X). It is able to probe into the last scrape-off (SOL) layer close to the last closed flux surface. The manipulator is also has the capability to puff gas for well-localized fueling/impurity seeding into the SOL. In the previous operational campaign of OP 1.2a and 1.2b both hydrogen and methane were injected from the manipulator mounted probes. The effect of hydrogen puffing on the main plasma was observed to be much stronger than that of the methane puffing. This difference is related to the difference in ionization lengths between the two gas species. To support this assumption a puffing of a similar amount of methane and hydrogen was modelled with ERO.
