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.
