Morphology
The compound's meaning is directly derivable from the constituent nouns: an 'operation' that serves to 'control' some function, so a learner who knows 'control' (to adjust functions) and 'operation' (a process of making a system function) can infer the intended technical sense. This noun-noun composition follows ordinary English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically common, making it transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Control operation comes from a clear image: a person presses a control like a switch or button to make a machine do an operation, an action. So a control operation is the action that 'starts', 'stops', or 'changes' how data is recorded, processed, or sent.
