Thomson scattering diagnostic (TS) on the COMPASS tokamak is designed to measure electron temperature and density profiles with high spatial resolution (~a/100) in the edge plasma region and about 1 cm in the core plasma. The TS system with the core collection optics is operational since 2010, commissioning of the edge TS and it's integration with the core TS is presented now. Procedure of spatial calibration was performed for both systems. The system is now capable to observe profile of elongated plasma and allows determination of H-mode plasma pedestal parameters.
