A synthetic charge exchange recombination spectroscopy diagnostic based on the FIDASIM modeling suite has been created for the DIII-D tokamak. This synthetic diagnostic assumes that the ions have Maxwellian distribution functions on each flux surface and models emission from charge exchange events between the beam neutrals and a fully ionized impurity. This work was motivated by the observation of non-Gaussian spectra that may be caused by spatial averaging, atomic physics, or non-Maxwellian distribution functions. Measurements of non-Gaussian spectra commonly observed in the high confinement mode pedestal and in plasmas with large core gradients are compared to the synthetic diagnostic. Spatial averaging alone cannot account for the observations in these two cases, opening up the possibility of there being other causes such as non-Maxwellian distribution functions. The synthetic diagnostic has also been used to resolve a long-standing issue: it is shown that the lower temperatures measured by using vertical view chords relative to tangential view chords are due to increased spatial averaging for vertical views due to the DIII-D neutral beams being approximately twice as tall as they are wide.
