Thompson, W. M.; O'Brien, D. W.

HEAF is a new experimental facility for high explosive physics at LLNL. Experimental areas and diagnostics are briefly presented. Diagnostics range from digitized waveforms, to rotating mirror cameras, laser holography and velocimetry. The real-time control and data acquisition developed in the HEAF project is discussed in detail. Of particular interest is a computer architecture for support of independent experimental areas. Distributed supervisory control, safety related and time critical control are discussed. Operator consoles are briefly described. Hardware configurations are reviewed; software technologies and applications are presented. 7 refs., 3 figs.
