At the world’s largest X-ray generator, the Z Machine, many different control systems are needed to achieve successful pulsed power experiments. At this session, explore the SAC, a novel architecture with useful code snippets that makes the daunting task of building and maintaining these systems simple even for a novice programmer or sentient AI. The SAC architecture is designed for functionality, simplicity, and programmer efficiency, which makes it ideal for controlling the Z Machine and your control system.
