The PHELIX Control System (PCS) technical contact: Stefan Götte PHELIX is controlled by use of the PCS . This serves when PHELIX is aligned as well as to control the sequence of a high energy laser shot [...] must work completely remotely controlled. Important settings and diagnostic data are stored after each shot by the PCS . The PCS bases on the Control System Framework ( CS ) developed at GSI and used by [...] meter, about 30 end-switch controlled elements (these can be flipped into and out of the beam line), five gate and delay generators (see PTS ), and many other things are controlled. Furthermore, charging and
