The authors have implemented an automated pulse shaper for NIF capsules in HYDRA. We have developed the infrastructure to do scans using the automatic pulse shaper across any n-dimensions of capsule parameter space. Using this infrastructure, we have performed several scans examining parameters for uniformly doped Beryllium capsules. To coordinate more closely with the anticipated experimental shock timing strategy, we have started to develop an automated pulse shaper which uses planar geometry and liquid DD.
