<P>
Welcome to the Time-Of-Flight spectrometer FOCUS at SINQ! This manual
describes how to operate FOCUS through the means of the instrument
control software system SICS. SICS means: Sinq Instrument Control
System. SICS is a client server system. This means there is a magic server
program running somewhere which does all the work. The user interacts
only with client applications which communicate with the server
through the network. Most instument hardware (motor controllers,
counter boxes etc.) is connected to the system through RS-232 serial
connections. These RS-232 ports are connected to a Macintosh-PC which
acts as a terminal server by means of a special program running on
it. The SICS server communicates with this terminal server and other
devices through the network.
