Title: LabVIEW Development to Control the Texas Petawatt

Presenter: Kevin Nguyen & Andy Tang, University of Texas at Austin

Abstract: The Texas Petawatt labs are maintained and controlled entirely through LabVIEW. With LabVIEW, we create programs for proper hardware control for experiments and testers to make various experiments conducted in the Texas Petawatt convenient and easy to perform without concern of complications to the labs. There is also safety functionality in the Texas Petawatt operated through LabVIEW to provide a safe and maintained environment for personnel, staff, and/or scientists to conduct proper experiments without fear of laser hazards. The Texas Petawatt emphasizes control and safety to achieve high quality experiments.
