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