This document describes the general setup of SICS, the configuration of the SICS server and its clients and the writing of macros in the SICS macro language. This document is aimed at SICS system managers and instrument scientists. This document requires that the SICS user documentation has been read and understood beforehand. For writing macros it is essential to understand John Ousterhouts Tool Command Language, which is described elsewhere.
