<H2> Moving the SICS Server to a new Computer</h2>
<P>
Moving the SICS server from one computer to another involves quite a
few steps:
<OL>
<LI>Recreate the directory structure on the new computer.
<LI>Copy all necessary files across:
<ul>
<li> A copy of the SICServer.
<li> A copy of the instrument configuration file.
<li> All macro scripts used by this instrument.
<li> The DataNumber file.
<li> The necessary data file dictionary or header description files.
<li> The client programs.
</ul>
All necessary files should be available from backup or under the
/data/lnslib/sics/instrument tree on lnsa10.
<LI>Edit the instrument configuration file and make all pathnames reflect the
new directory structure. It should be enough to adapt the home variable at the
top, but better check. All paths references must be renewed if the directory
structure is changed from the one described <a href = "setup.htm">above</a>.
<LI>Edit the client scripts to reflect the new location of the server. Only the
box and logpath parameters should need to be changed.
<LI> Edit the DataNumber file and set the number above the last valid data file
number used. Otherwise the automatic numbering scheme
for data files gets messed up.
<LI>Test the new Installation!
</OL>
</P>
<h2>Exchanging the Macintosh Serial Port Server</h2>
<p>In its current configuration at SINQ, SICS requires a Macintosh PC running a serial
port server program. Exchanging this Macintosh requires the following steps:
<OL>
<LI>Exchange the Macintosh physically. Plug everything as it was before the
exchange. Not every Macintosh can be used. Any other Macintosh from another
instrument or the spare Macintosh from the EDV-cabin will do. Other
Macintoshs require some serious screwing and software installation
procedures.
<LI>Edit the instrument configuration file and replace all references to the name of
the old Macintosh PC with the name of the new Macintosh PC.
<LI>Test it!
</OL>
If you do not plug the serial devices back onto the Macintosh as they were, you
need to adapt the channel numbers in the configuration file as well. The standard
plugging scheme for the serial port extension box on the Macintosh is like this:
<OL>
<LI>Motor Controller 1
<LI>Motor Controller 2
<LI>Counter Box
</OL>
