<para>Before you can control the instrument, there are 2 programs that need to be running,

SICS and Gumtree. SICS should already be configured and set running by the local

contact. This procedure allows you to check this.</para>

<title>Check SICS status</title>
|
|
<para>Normally SICS will be running. You can check if SICS is running by using the PuTTy
|
|
window and at the Linux operating system command prompt type</para>

|
<para><command>> runsics status</command>

</para>
|
|
<para>If the status shows that SICS is not running, or if there is a change in the SICS

configuration files e.g. a piece of sample environment has been added, you should

contact your local contact. </para>
|
|
<para>If the local contact has confirmed it is OK to restart SICS, then in the PuTTy window
|
|
type </para>

<title>Login to SICS using the putty session</title>
|
|
<para>In the previous section, you logged into the ICS (instrument control server) computer
|
|
using putty. At the Linux operating system command prompt, you will run a program that
|
|
will give you a sics command prompt. </para>
|
|
<para>For most cases, you won't have to do this. A SICS command prompt is available in
|
|
Gumtree. </para>
|
|
<para>At the Linux operating system command prompt type </para>
|
|
<para><command>> sicsclient</command></para>
|
|
<para>You should see <computeroutput>OK</computeroutput> on the screen.</para>
|
|
<para>You now have a SICS command prompt. It may look strange since the cursor will be on a
|
|
blank line. You will not have access to the Linux operating system command prompt until
|
|
you log off.</para>
|
|
<para>Next step is to login to sics by typing</para>
|
|
<para><command>> user password</command> where user is literally the word "user" and the
|
|
password will be supplied by the local contact</para>
|
|
<para>You can replace user with spy. The spy login provides read-only access to SICS.

</figure>
|
|
<para>Normally, Gumtree will be connected to SICS, as in the figure above. </para>
|
|
<para>In Gumtree you reconnect to SICS if you restart SICS. This is done by clicking on the
|
|
little man at the bottom of the Gumtree screen when logged in to SICS. He will be
|
|
standing still, and you will see the word Disconnected when not connected. He will be
|
|
running when connected as in the figure. You will then need to start a new Sics terminal
|
|
in Gumtree. From the left screen, in the project explorer window, Right click on SICS
|
|
and choose the option to start a new “SICS telnet terminal”. </para>
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>Reconnection won't work properly if SICS has changed configuration e.g. you've
|
|
added a piece of sample environment. In this case, when you restart SICS you should
|
|
also restart Gumtree </para>
