Laser-plasma based acceleration has matured into a technique providing high-energy electron beams able to drive undulator-based x-ray light sources. The LUX beamline, recently built up in a collaboration between University of Hamburg and DESY is designed to be such a light source. The plasma acceleration stage is driven by the 5 Hz 200 TW laser system ANGUS, and recently demonstrated first x-ray from a plasma-driven undulator. Here, we will introduce the ANGUS laser system as the main driver of the facility and describe the implementation of the online diagnostics with a data acquisition system at the laser repetition rate. We show long-term stability measurements and discuss reliability and reproducibility of the laser as a driver for laser-plasma acceleration.
