Interacting with the SinqHM software

The server side software on the histogram memories is actually a WWW-server. It not only serves SICS to do its job but it also has a nice WWW interface which allows to debug neutron data acquisition from a WWW browser. This document details how to do this and which information can be gained.

Connecting to the SinqHM WWW-server

A little bit complicated due to firewalls etc.

1. Log in to the instrument computer
2. Find the name of the HM computer, often it is insthm, like for example amorhm. See /etc/hosts for names
3. Point your WWW-browser, running on the instrument computer to that HM computer.
4. You should be on the SinqHM WWW-interface now
5. At some places SinqHM asks for user credentials: these are spy/007

The SinqHM Status Page

Choose the status tab on the WWW interface. You get a page like below from which some things can already be learned.
