<H1>Installing SICS Java Clients on PC's</H1>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Some of the newer SICS clients are written in Java. Java is a platform
|
|
independent system. This means the SICS client applications can be run as
|
|
native PC applications as well. Both at home and at SINQ. In order to do this three
|
|
things are required:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A Java Runtime system.
|
|
<li>The SICS application.
|
|
<li>The above two need to be married.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</P>

<h2>Installing SICS Java Clients on IBM compatible PC's</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A prerequisite for the installation of the software is either the Windows 95
|
|
or Windows NT operating system. Pure DOS or Windows 3.* systems won't do.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Installing the java runtime on your computer is easy: On the laboratory
|
|
Windows NT server, lns00, there exists a share called lnslib. Below lnslib
|
|
there is a directory called java. In this directory there is a executable
|
|
file called jdk115-win32. Simply double clicking that one will invoke an
|
|
installer which installs java on your PC's harddisk.
|
|
Answer questions as required and soon you will be done.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the same directory: lns00//lnslib/java, the SICS client application files
|
|
can be found as well. Currently available are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>sicsclient.jar or zip for the SICS Command Line Client
|
|
<li>powderstatus.jar or zip for the powder diffractometer status display (DMC and
|
|
HRPT).
|
|
<li>sansstatus.jar or zip for the SANS status display.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Copy those files wherever you like on your harddisk. But remember where you
|
|
put them. You may even consider to use the ones stored at lns00.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now the java run time and the SICS application need to be married. This is
|
|
done via batch files. Template batch files to be configured by you are
|
|
stored at lns00//lnslib/java. Currently available are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>sics.bat for the Sics Command Line Client
|
|
<li>powderstatus.bat for the Powder Diffractometer Status Display
|
|
<li>sansstatus.bat for the SANS Status Display
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Copy the required batch files to a place somewhere on your path. Copying
|
|
alone does not do the job, the batch files need to be configured. Edit the
|
|
batch file with notepad. Make the variable jheim point to the directory
|
|
where you installed the java run time kit. Set the variable sheim to the
|
|
directory to which you copied the SICS application jar file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then you should be done. You may start the application by invoking the batch
|
|
file from the command line. You may also create a shortcut on your desktop
|
|
to the batch file using standard windows procedures. If you start the
|
|
application from the desktop you also get a DOS window each time. If you
|
|
dislike this go into Properties/shortcut of the shortcut on the desktop and
|
|
configure the textfield labelled Run to Minimized.
