Welcome to the reflectometer AMOR at SINQ! This manual describes how
|
|
to operate AMOR through the SICS instrument control software.
|
|
SICS means: Sinq Instrument Control System. AMOR can be operated in
|
|
one out of two modes:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Single Counter Mode. In this mode normal scans are performed with
|
|
a single counter.
|
|
<li>Time-Of-Flight Mode. In this mode the position sensitive detector
|
|
is operated in time of flight mode with a chopper providing the time
|
|
structure of the neutron beam.
|
|
</ul>

<h1>SICS Introduction</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
SICS is a client server system. This means there is a magic server
|
|
program running on the instrument computer which does all the work.
|
|
The user interacts with SICS
|
|
only with client applications which communicate with the server
|
|
through the network. Most instrument hardware (motor controllers,
|
|
counter boxes etc.) is connected to the system through RS-232 serial
|
|
connections. These RS-232 ports are connected to a terminal server
|
|
which is accessed through another server program, the SerPortServer
|
|
program, which is also running on the instrument computer. Then there
|
|
is the position sensitive detector. Neutrons collected in the PSD are
|
|
formatted into a special message format by the elctronics and
|
|
forwarded through a fibre optic link to the histogram memory
|
|
computer. This is a VME Motorola on board computer which then is
|
|
responsible for summing the neutrons events appropriatetly. The on
|
|
board computer is connected to the TCP/IP network and acts as a
|
|
server as well which handles the configuration and readout of the
|
|
histogram memory.
|
|
The SICS server communicates with this terminal server and other
|
|
devices through the network.
