The x-ray imaging crystal spectrometer (XICS) for Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) has been upgraded to increase its performance including measurement capabilities and stable operation. A dual crystal assembly for simultaneous measurements of the helium-like and hydrogen-like Ar spectra is successfully installed for improving measurement capabilities. Using a safety viewing port with an illuminator and removing the XICS control system from the harsh KSTAR tokamak hall for a stable operation are newly performed. The experimental results from the improved XICS are investigated.
