  The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS aims at measuring the ultra-rare decay
$K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ with 10% accuracy. This can be achieved by
detecting about 100 Standard Model events with 10% background in 2-3 years of
data taking. The experiment consists of a large number of subsystems dedicated
to the detection of the incoming kaon and outgoing pion and also focusing on
particle identification and vetoing capabilities. Run Control has been designed
to link their trigger and data acquisition systems in a single central
application easily controllable by educated but non-expert operators. The
application has been continuously evolving over time, integrating new
equipments and taking into account requirements and feedback from operation.
Future development includes a more automatized system integrating the knowledge
acquired during the operation of the experiment.
