The line emission from the L-shell, n --> 2, transitions in Fe XVII-XXIV falling in the ultra-soft x-ray regime from 10-18 Å has been measured using the Electron Beam Ion Trap located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The results of these measurements include wavelengths, relative intensities, and line identifications of over 150 features from Fe XVIII-XXIV. In addition, measurements of the intensity of the high- n L-shell transitions, i.e., n >= 5, in Fe XVII falling in the 9.8-11.5 Å wavelength band have been made. These measurements were done at single electron beam energies where the only population process is direct excitation followed by radiative cascades. Also presented in this work are the results of a systematic study of the relative and absolute cross sections of the 1s22s 22p1/22 p43/2 3d3/2J = 1 --> 1 s22s22p 6 J = 0 resonance to ls2 2s22 p21/2 2 p33/2 3d5/2J = 1 --> 1 s22s22p 6 J = 0 intercombination line in neon-like Fe XVII. This ratio was measured under conditions where different processes contribute to the line flux. The contributing processes are direct impact excitation followed by radiative cascades, blending with Fe XVI innershell satellites, and Fe XVI dielectronic recombination satellites involving capture into high- n levels. The measured ratio varies between 2.8 and 3.2 depending on the line formation processes. These values are higher than ratios measured in non-flaring active regions of the Sun. However, the measurements are significantly lower than values calculated with current atomic physics codes demonstrating that calculational methods are not yet accurate enough to provide relative intensities useful for comparative diagnostics. The results suggest that the relatively low ratio measured in non-flaring active regions may be a result of blending with innershell satellites of Fe XVI.
