The control system for the Nova laser must operate reliably in a harsh pulse power environment and satisfy requirements of technical functionality, flexibility, maintainability and operability. It is composed of four fundamental subsystems: power conditioning, alignment, laser diagnostics, and target diagnostics, together with a unifying subsystem called the central controls. The system architecture utilizes a collection of distributed microcomputers, minicomputers, and components interconnected through high speed fiber optic communications systems. The design objectives development strategy and architecture of the overall control system and each of its four fundamental subsystems are discussed.
