	The new mid-infrared FEL at the Fritz-Haber-Institut (FHI) was presented at the FEL12 conference. It will be used for spectroscopic investigations of molecules, clusters, nanoparticles and surfaces. This facility must be easy to use by the scientists at FHI, and should be seamlessly integrated into the existing research environment. The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) software framework was chosen to build the FHI-FEL control system, and will also be used to interface the user systems. The graphical operator interface is based on the Control System Studio (CSS) package. It covers radiation safety monitoring as well as controlling the complete set of building automation and utility devices, regardless of their particular function. A user interface (subset of the operator interface) allows user-provided experiment-control software (KouDa, LabVIEW, Matlab) to connect with an EPICS Gateway providing secured access. The EPICS Channel Archiver continuously records selected process variable data and provides a web server offering archive and near real-time data. A sample experiment installation demonstrates how this user interface can be used efficiently. W. Schöllkopf et al., FIRST LASING OF THE IR FEL AT THE FRITZ-HABER-INSTITUT, BERLIN, Conference FEL12

The new mid-infrared FEL at the Fritz-Haber-Institut (FHI) was presented at the FEL12 conference*. It will be used for spectroscopic investigations of molecules, clusters, nanoparticles and surfaces. This facility must be easy to use by the scientists at FHI, and should be seamlessly integrated into the existing research environment. The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) software framework was chosen to build the FHI-FEL control system, and will also be used to interface the user systems. The graphical operator interface is based on the Control System Studio (CSS) package. It covers radiation safety monitoring as well as controlling the complete set of building automation and utility devices, regardless of their particular function. A user interface (subset of the operator interface) allows user-provided experiment-control software (KouDa, LabVIEW, Matlab) to connect with an EPICS Gateway providing secured access. The EPICS Channel Archiver continuously records selected process variable data and provides a web server offering archive and near real-time data. A sample experiment installation demonstrates how this user interface can be used efficiently.
