The paper describes the development of GUI based control software for control/operation, maintenance and data logging of a Coherent CompexPro 102 Excimer Laser (ArF, 193 nm) using LabVIEWTM instrument control software. Excimer laser will be used to generate the lithium plasma for the Plasma Wake Field Acceleration (PWFA) experiment which is currently being pursued at the Institute for Plasma research, Gandhinagar. The LabViewTM drivers for the system were developed and various control modules for laser control & operation, maintenance (gas refill), energy calibration as well as logging were developed and integrated into a single screen GUI. Automated calibration of the internal energy meter with an external one has also been implemented. The modules can be used independently or as an integrated system. The laser is interfaced to the control PC through a RS-232-to-USB interface.
