Don't make the temperature getset-macro or select the control sensor for the script validator instance of SICS. (fixed in-situ) Use new ls340 and ls336 controllers. script_context_util.tcl Modified hinitprops so that it can take sub-paths nxscripts_common_1.tcl Added ::nexus::OnFirstsave ::nexus:OnLastSave to register commands which will be executed on the first and last save of a data file. sct_julabo_lh45.tcl Added start_temperature and end_temperature parameters to record the initial and final temperature readings in the data files. Also only set the setpoint if the Julabo is in remote mode. sct_positmotor_common.tcl Report 99999 if a posit motor table is out of range. quokka guide_configuration.tcl Updated aperture size for p1, p1lp, p1lens in the guide configuration table. r2969 | ffr | 2010-07-01 22:09:09 +1000 (Thu, 01 Jul 2010) | 20 lines
SICS README
Requirements
- hdf-4, hdf5- libraries: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu
- szlib : same place as HDF
- Mini XML library : http://www.minixml.org/software.php
- libghttp :
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/source/libghttp/1.0/libghttp-1.0.9.tar.gz
- json-c : http://oss.metaparadigm.com/json-c
- tcl : any version from 8.0, package tcl-devel on most
modern linux distros
Building
Install the libraries stated above, preferably to a common place.
Then edit the suplied makefile, instance makefile_linux, and change:
- uncomment all the NI, NIOBJ, NILIB stuff, except if you want support
for the NI enet100 GPIB/TCP/IP converter.
- Edit linux_def and set HDFROOT to where you installed your libraries
- Review the CFLAGS and LIBS to match your setup. Consider file format
format support:
** HDF-4 required -DHDF4 in CFLAGS and -lmfdf -ldf in LIBS
** HDF-5 support requires: -DHDF5 in CFLAGS and -lhdf5 in LIBS
** XML support requires: -DNXXML -n CFLAGS and -lmxml in LIBS
- build with make -f makefile_linux
- Good Luck!!
Sorry, no configure script here. There are so few people building SICS
that it is not worth the effort. The effort really is to build the
libraries.
Running
In the sim directory there are startup scripts for a number of different
instruments. To run any of them:
- edit the instrument file and change the home or root variable at the
top to match your setup.
- run with: SICServer path-to-instrument-file
For example: SICServer sim/topsi/morpheus.tcl
- Common issues:
** tmp directory missing: create one
** SicsDataNumber file missing: create a file with a single 0 in it
Trying it out with telnet
- telnet host-where-sics-runs 2911
- type username and password: Spy 007 is a good idea for the supplied sims
- type SICS commands
Directories

own cvs
sics/dummy : example kit for defining an own site
sics/doc/user : user documentation
sics/doc/manager : manager documentation
sics/doc/programmer : programmer documentation
sics/matrix : matrix library used within SICS
sics/mcstas : code for virtual McStas instruments
sics/sim : control files for various instruments
sics/test : a sort of regression test for the SICS server
