	Funding: This work was supported by U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC03-76SF00098. The Advance Light Source (ALS) is in the process of upgrading the high-level controls software. This welcome upgrade is driven by the need for a low-level controls hardware upgrade. The risk of a failure in some of the aging controls hardware is reaching a critical level. The dilemma is that replacing the low-level hardware will break some important control room applications. An effort has been started to replace all the high-level software in a way that is compatible with an incremental low-level hardware replacement. As will be presented in this paper, the plan involves combining three very different programming methods: C#, Matlab, and EPICS tools.
