Computing in the APPM Lab ECCR 143
The computer lab in ECCR 143 has 28 computers loaded with
software like Mathematica and Matlab and other
software needed in various classes taught by the Department
of Applied Mathematics.
To use these computers you must use the same
username and IdentiKey password
as with any other ITS Mac/PC lab, but the door
is locked to all but students of those classes.
Students:
All users of ECCR 143 are expected to follow the usual computer lab
rules: NO FOOD/DRINK, no inappropriate use of the computers
(games, hacking, etc.); during reserved course hours, only students
enrolled in that course can use the computers; when a computer is
down or not functioning properly, it should be reported immediately
on the
ITS Labs
Maintenance web page.
(Lab contract)
Instructors (Use Of Projector):
Turn OFF after use
The front computer is connected to an overhead projector.
The projector bulb is expensive ($500) and should be good for
2000 hours of use; please learn
how to treat the projector (and its lamp) correctly.
In particular, the projector should be turned off
when not in use. Either use the remote control (below,
left) to press the On/Off button twice, or
(below, right) reach up and press twice the
large button on the bottom of the projector.
(Normally, the projector will switch to Standby only if the
computer is turned off. So it is best, in general,
to turn the projector itself off when your class is over.)
The Remote Control
You may want to borrow the remote control to make it
easier to turn the projector off/on, or to use the zoom
feature of the projector.
The remote is available from Bruce Fast,
ECOT 215; remember to return it when the class is over.
Reporting bulb usage
The bulb for the projector costs $500, so help us make
sure that it lasts as long as possible.
The bulb is supposed to be good for 2000 hours of use.
Help make all 2000 hours class hours...
Using the remote control (or the buttons on the bottom of the
hanging projector, if you are tall!)
you can press ``menu'' and then select ``Set Setting''
(!) to see the number of hours on the bulb.
When the number of hours exceeds 1500, it may be time to
order a replacement bulb; contact Bruce Fast.
Also, when you check the number of hours on the bulb,
you may submit that information on the
projector bulb report web site
to help us keep track of the usage.
