B209 Fitzpatrick is a computer lab used by EGR 103, EGR 224, ECE 382, ME 321, and occasionally ME 344, ME 421 and ME 422.

Specifications

  • 48 networked Windows computers with WIN domain credential logins split up into 24 lab benches
  • 1 instructor station Windows 8.1 - equipped with a SMART Sympodium
  • Projection system with screen
  • WolfVision document camera
  • 25 National Instruments NI PCI 6014e or NI PCI 6221 cards (one at instructor station, one per lab bench)
  • 20 Circuit Specialists PBB 272 powered breadboards
  • 20 Circuit Specialists MS8264 digital multimeters

Using the PCs to Run Unix Programs Remotely

Here is the somewhat long-form of the log-in procedure:

  1. Pick a PC
  2. Log in using your OIT WIN credentials
  3. Start MobaXterm
  4. Start a new terminal in MobaXterm.
  5. Type
     ssh -XY NETID@login.oit.duke.edu
    
    where NETID is your NET ID in lower case.
  6. Type your password when asked - if it gives a warning about a .Xauth file, that's probably fine...
  7. At the prompt, type
    xeyes &
    
    to start the xeyes program. You can minimize the program, but you should keep it running to keep your session from timing out.

Problems Logging In or Running Programs

  • If your password doesn't work or matlab "doesn't exist,"
    close MobaXterm, re-open it, and try to connect again.


Software

Partial list:
