Procedure to Change the Option for the Sample Stick Rotation

There are 7 options now:

set stickmotor 0

Normal mode: motor om is sample table

set stickmotor 1

MA15 mode: motor om is sample stick, motor sro is sample table

set ma15motor 2

MA02 mode: motor om is sample table, motor stick is sample stick

Change to Omega on Sample Stick (for MA15)

• In /home/rita2/rita2_sics/rita2.tcl change the following line

        set stickmotor 15

• Stop the SICS server at the unix prompt:

        monit stop sicsserver

• Switch off the motor controller (if not already off)
• Make sure that the cables to the rotation unit are connected, and that the serial line (RS232) to the motor controller is connected.
• Switch on the motor controller.
• Start sics with the command

        monit start sicsserver

Outdated information:

If the motor is not running, it may be necessary to load the motor parameters with the el734_test program. Type

        el734_test -help

Actually the serial cable for the omega motor is connected to channel 4 (port 3004) on the terminal server lnsts02.psi.ch.
