SICS Clients

The instrument control software SICS is accessed through special client software written in Java. The client programs are available on all instrument computers. Addionally they can be started from this very WWW server through the Java Web Start mechanism. More details about Java WebStart and installation instructions can be found on the LNS Java WebStart page. If you are already installed, you may use the following quick links.

• The SICS Command Line Client
• The new SICS Batch Editor
• The SICS Variable Watcher
• The NeXus Network Data Browser
• The AMOR Client
• The AMOR Status
• The FOCUS Application
• The Powder Diffraction Status Display
• The SANS Status Display
• The TOPSI Scan Status Display
• The Triple Axis Application
• The TRICS Application.
