High pulse power installations like Angara-5 are used for different kinds of experiments, e.g. fusion, high current Z-pinch, X-ray generation. These experiments have some differences concerning timing, measurement circuit, sensors types and other parameters of measurement and control system (MCS). Software of such systems must be flexible enough to be tuned for all kinds of experiments without a loss of a lot of time. Special software satisfying to these requirements was developed. All the MCS parameters are stored in appropriate database files (DBF). A special utility similar to usual database control program provides presentation and editing of these parameters. The interaction between DBF and local system software is being performed by means of special dispatcher program. Such set of tools allows to reconfigure the system immediately before the experiment. Both MCS parameters and data obtained are stored in main DBF and could be used during the data processing. Present paper decribes software structure and configuration tools.
