A distributed intelligent control system was implemented to make streak cameras more protable and intelligent, which achieved the monitoring of working parameters, precise control of the electrode voltage and scanning patterns, additionally, image acquisition and processing. Based on the structure of Internet of things and client-server model, the system realized multimachine collaboration capabilities about wired and wireless devices extension and mobile monitoring. Furthermore, an adjustable self-protection high voltage ringing choke converter was designed for the system. The power supply realized the miniaturization by the simply self-excited topological structure, and its linear adjustment accuracy can reach 1%.The picosecond visible light streak camera with the intelligent control system was calibrated by the Nd∶YLF pulse laser (Wavelength of 526.5 nmand pulse width of 8 ps).A dynamic spatial resolution of 20 lp/mm (CTF=14%), a dynamic range of 234∶1 and a temporal resolution of 14 ps were reached.
