Description

The Central Laser Facility (CLF) has been developing a novel high power and high repetition rate laser system for which Tessella Ltd has been developing the control system software using EPICS. Aside from the integration of a large amounts of various instruments, hardware equipment as well as 3rd party custom devices, the laser system also required a high level of automation, including machine safety, closed-loop algorithms and complex analysis between various instruments. In this presentation, you'll find out how we tackled the requirements capture, the software engineering practices we adopted as well as the technical challenged we faced and how we approached the design of the user interface.
