Pulsed power fa­cil­i­ties re­quire a wide va­ri­ety of con­trol sys­tems to op­er­ate ef­fi­ciently. Rel­a­tively slow dis­trib­uted con­trol sys­tems that process water are okay tak­ing hun­dreds of mil­lisec­onds to re­spond to a phys­i­cal change while small pulsed power lasers may need to re­li­ably re­spond to a change within hun­dreds of nanosec­onds. Build­ing these con­trol sys­tems re­quires more than just the abil­ity to write lines of code and wire up em­bed­ded con­trollers. Knowl­edge of hard­ware ca­pa­bil­ity and plan­ning ap­pro­pri­ately will end up sav­ing lots of time. Tai­lor­ing your hard­ware/soft­ware choices to the en­vi­ron­ment in which the sys­tem is ex­pected to func­tion and cor­rectly choos­ing a so­lu­tion that will fit your needs will con­tribute to the over­all suc­cess and longevity of your con­trol sys­tem. In this pre­sen­ta­tion, we will cover some of the de­sign de­ci­sions that go into 'mak­ing things work fast enough' while pro­vid­ing a real-world ex­am­ple of a sys­tem that is 'good enough'.
