Description
The complex task of aligning helios, the 10-kilojoule carbon-dioxide laser, built for fusion research at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, requires computer control of steering mirrors and error sensors. The control system is a three-level minicomputer and microprocessor hierarchy which automatically aligns each of the 40 beam-line sections
