Uses of ORACLE in the Nova Laser Control System
Abstract
The Nova Laser System is a large scale fusion experiment which is now under ion. Modern control system technology is required to efficiently manage the thousands of devices needed to operate the system. To reduce the requirements on the operations staff, much of the system is automated which requires a significant knowledge base including frequently used system configurations and device parameters. The ORACLE will be used to provide this information to the control system. To insure the control system integrity, ORACLE will be used to maintain informaton about the control system software. This information will be used to document the system and help track down problems. The ORACLE will also be used to maintain data on the system performane. This data will be analyzed to optimize the laser performance and to point out when maintenance is required.
