AbstractThis poster describes the work and design process for updating user interfaces used for operations at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) from the Tcl/Tk language to the Python language. Python has become a golden standard in the software industry and has a wide variety of libraries and plugins that can be leveraged for a variety of projects. Utilizing the pyQt5 library, alongside internal libraries designed to interface with the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) that primarily drives the accelerator’s technologies, we can greatly improve the usability and visuals for its legacy user interfaces. These updates are a multi-year effort, having already replaced several legacy Tcl/Tk interfaces in production. LA-UR-25-24008
