We present a new experiment control system which is currently being integrated in our ion trap quantum computer. The hardware performs the generation, shaping and real-time execution of pulsed radio frequency signals (RF), which are used to drive acousto-optic modulators (AOMs), to allow precise addressing of a single ion, as well as simultaneous addressing of multiple ions. With the growing complexity of the systems, it is important to automate as many subroutines as possible to push towards a hands-free 24/7 operation of the system. Furthermore, remote access to the system is an important aspect of the quantum computer and has been incorporated into the control.
