<H2> Moving the SICS Server to a new Computer</h2>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Moving the SICS server from one computer to another involves quite a
|
|
few steps:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Recreate the directory structure on the new computer.
|
|
<LI>Copy all necessary files across:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> A copy of the SICServer.
|
|
<li> A copy of the instrument configuration file.
|
|
<li> All macro scripts used by this instrument.
|
|
<li> The DataNumber file.
|
|
<li> The necessary data file dictionary or header description files.
|
|
<li> The client programs.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
All necessary files should be available from backup or under the
|
|
/data/lnslib/sics/instrument tree on lnsa10.
|
|
<LI>Edit the instrument configuration file and make all pathnames reflect the
|
|
new directory structure. It should be enough to adapt the home variable at the
|
|
top, but better check. All paths references must be renewed if the directory
|
|
structure is changed from the one described <a href = "setup.htm">above</a>.
|
|
<LI>Edit the client scripts to reflect the new location of the server. Only the
|
|
box and logpath parameters should need to be changed.
|
|
<LI> Edit the DataNumber file and set the number above the last valid data file
|
|
number used. Otherwise the automatic numbering scheme
|
|
for data files gets messed up.
|
|
<LI>Test the new Installation!
|
|
</OL>

</P>

<h2>Exchanging the Macintosh Serial Port Server</h2>
|
|
<p>In its current configuration at SINQ, SICS requires a Macintosh PC running a serial
|
|
port server program. Exchanging this Macintosh requires the following steps:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Exchange the Macintosh physically. Plug everything as it was before the
|
|
exchange. Not every Macintosh can be used. Any other Macintosh from another
|
|
instrument or the spare Macintosh from the EDV-cabin will do. Other
|
|
Macintoshs require some serious screwing and software installation
|
|
procedures.
|
|
<LI>Edit the instrument configuration file and replace all references to the name of
|
|
the old Macintosh PC with the name of the new Macintosh PC.
|
|
<LI>Test it!
|
|
</OL>
|
|
If you do not plug the serial devices back onto the Macintosh as they were, you
|
|
need to adapt the channel numbers in the configuration file as well. The standard
|
|
plugging scheme for the serial port extension box on the Macintosh is like this:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Motor Controller 1
|
|
<LI>Motor Controller 2
|
|
<LI>Counter Box
|
|
</OL>
