<p>
Welcome to the Strain Scaning diffractometer POLDI at SINQ! This manual
describes how to operate POLDI 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 terminal server
(name: PSTS240) by means of a special program running on it. The SICS server
communicates with this terminal server and other devices through the network.
