 note = {In order to study fast ion confinement and transport mechanisms both in quiescent plasmas and in the presence of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) activity, an electric field parallel to the magnetic field type neutral particle analyzer (E||B-NPA) was installed using Micro-Channel Plates (MCPs) in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The E||B-NPA is an established diagnostic used to measure the energy distribution of charge exchange neutral particles escaping from plasmas corresponding to hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium, respectively. The LHD deuterium experimental campaign started in 2017. To obtain more details of MHD behavior, we improved on time resolution performance of the E||B-NPA using a high-speed Pre-Amplifier and Discriminator (PAD) and Latching Scaler Module (LSM). For the last LHD experimental campaign, the E||B-NPA was installed on nearly the equatorial plane of the vacuum chamber to measure the passing energetic particles generated by tangentially injected neutral beams. As the results of the E||B-NPA commissioning, it is confirmed that the E||B-NPA successfully detected the energetic particles and obtained the energy distributions corresponding to hydrogen. Also, the effect of the neutron to E||B-NPA is estimated using the other neutron diagnostics during the experiments.},
