ELVIS II Reads high mV in AI and DMM

Howdy! I am having trouble getting a good reading for a mV signal from my ELVIS II box. I am running Windows 7. Whether I use NIMAX or the DMM for ELVIS, I am getting roughly 52mV when the power supply indicates the voltage should be closer to 23 mV. A hand held DMM reads the 23 mV. I have other items with much higher readings, and they do not seem to be wrong. When the power supply is off, I get a good zero reading.

Thanks for the help. I think that the problem was that I was taking a measurement  from a resistance that was so low, 0.01 ohms that I could not make a two wire measurement. this is the voltage across a shunt resistor.  I need a four wire system that would allow me to take into account the lead resistance. I could not figure out how to make a four wire measurement with the ELVIS. Maybe I am completely wrong. I ran the current measurement through the ELVIS current measurement and am currently living with the 2A limit. The measurement works great. I would prefer to run the experiment at 3 amp, but at least it works.

  • I am 13 but going into high school next year and possibly an elite boarding school that is 9 hours away from my town. I need to get a mac air for school purposes.How can convince my parents to let me get one?

    My house has always had macs and my parents don't like pcs. I don't either. They are slow and so far behind from macs.  So i am going into high schoo next year and parents don't let me on the computer without asking and have them all password protected. I did have my own ibook g4 but it broke randomly. My mom says i will isolate myself from too much scree time and get depressed but i love macs and i would like to work in an apple store someday but i'm not even allowed to buy my own ipod touch with my own money. But my mom has an new imac, ipad and  iphone and ipod and all of this has been gifts to her. But i really need a computer for school. I have written lists of good reasons not like i want it but good ones and asked nicely but my mom just says because and thats the only reason i need to know. and by the way she is a teacher so she thinks technogly is evil. How can i get the mac air??

    I really do not want to enter a family discussion about what you should or should not have.  If the MBA is to support your school work then you need to present your arguments on that point.  If there is a concern about using a Mac when the school supports PCs then point out a Mac can also use Windows on a BootCamp partition so it is fully compatible with both systems.

  • High number of threads and high CPU usage on a single instance

    Without any apparent reason, in some moments of day the website reports an increment of the HTTP Queue Length from an average of 10/20 queued requests to 100/200 and more.
    In that period of time the Average Response Time increases but the number of the requests on the website don't. Even increasing the instances it doesn't help to resolve the problem (maybe it just reduced it).
    It seems that the problem is not related to the traffic on the site. This issue happens either when the traffic is high or low.
    The autoscaling works well, we don't have peak of traffic but always a slow increasing of requests and the CPU is always below the 50% (memory too). The issue is resolved by the swap of the site and sometimes it's resolve by itself after a while.
    What I discovered when the issue happens, is that there's an instance (just an instance only), that has an high number of threads and CPU usage on the W3WP.exe process and these values are above the mean than the other instances. Eg, instances are around
    50/60 threads and 10/20% of CPU, the instance with the problem has 200 threads and 50/60% of CPU. If I kill the W3WP process on that instance the issue is resolved. 
    I monitored the HTTP requests, I tried the website extension "Diagnostics as service" but I can't discover anything that can help me to understand the problem. Of course, there are many requests that go in timeout but it is a consequences of a
    unresponsive instance.
    On the web hosting plan there are only two sites: the production site and its staging which is used for update of the production only and it's always sleeping. Plus, no webjobs are running on this site.
    What can I do to gather useful information that can help me to understand the reason of this problem?
    Thank you!

    "Does the instance with the high counts receive more traffic than the other instances? Is it possible that the load balancer not
    working the way it should be?"
    How can I get that information? I can't see metrics for a specific instance
    "Does it always happen to the first instance?"
    I will check it better, but in the order given by the Processes panel it's the second instance which has the issue. The scaling is at 2 instances for the most part of the time (it's the minimum).
    Maybe one time it was the 3th instance but I'm not sure, I'll give it more attention.
    " How long do these moment last?"
    The time can be 10 to 30 minutes, but I fix it as soon as I see the problem. It's not the down-scaling to resolve it because in these situations the CPU as well is high so the scaling holds or increases the number of instances.
    "- How often do these moments occurs?"
    It occurs quite often, 2/4 times a week.

    You are correct, between the higher numbers of users with multiple devices the bandwidth requirements keep increasing.
    The limitation of three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz space is driving more customers to 5 GHz, it is important to have both bands when high density deployments are needed.  While many older devices only support 2.4 GHz, we are now seeing far more devices with 5 GHz as well.
    The recomendation of 20-25 clients and 8 voice calls on a given 2.4 GHz channel is still a good "rule of thumb" with actual customer data requirements driving those numbers higher or lower. You are right when you say "throwing Access Points" at the problem can degrade the wireless quality as co-channel interference and overall noise floor can rise with multiple Access Points that can all hear each other.
    A better approach to the problem is to throw more spectrum at this issue (using 5 GHz channels) and elements of 802.11n (20 MHz) bandwidth on 2.4 GHz.
    What we have been doing in high density deployments is to try to minimize the propagation of a cell and focus it in a given direction.  This can be done by
    1. Managing the RF power of the radios (Access Points) and in some cases the client's power (using elements of CCX).
    2. Using the right antennas to shape both Tx and Rx cell size to help isolate, we have recently introduced a new high gain antenna for stadiums that does this well.
    3. Limit supported rates, obviously the higher the data rate the less sensitive the receiver is and the smaller the cell size becomes.
    4. Enable 5 GHz (that adds far more channels for data throughput)
    5. Limit the number of SSIDs in use as each requires a separate beacon (adding to RF utilization)
    6. Co-locating access points with non-overlapping channels
    There are some challenges, for example; many dual -band clients prefer to connect to 2.4 GHz, and 2.4 GHz is more likely to be busier and subject to interference, so we also enable Cisco "Band-Select" which basically "nudges" those clients off 2.4 GHz and pushes them to 5 GHz so as to free up the 2.4 GHz band when we can determine the client has 5 GHz capability.
    So how is this done? well, we do this by listening to the clients and if we detect that the client is sending out probe requests on both bands we know the client can use 5 GHz so we essentially make the 5 GHz band "appear more attractive" to that client.
    Note: Client load balancing and Band select are features in the Cisco Unified controller menu.
    Also enabling client link (intelligent beam forming) helps direct the signal directly at the client and reduces same channel interference.

  • Saved an email yesterday in Adobe Reader, now where is it and how do I open that PDF?

    saved an PDF email in Adobe Reader, now where is it and do I open it? It has job application that need to orient out?

    x11 needs to be installed from the OS X install cd that shipped with your mbp (its burried in one of the folders, don't remember which off hand - sorry).
    as for removing developer tools... personally, i wouldn't. if you ever plan on installing stuff from source via fink or darwinports or want to install apache/php for some reason, you'll need the developer tools. they do come in very hand, but if you are so incline to remove them, open up a terminal window (/Applications/Utilities) and issue the command
    sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl
    that should prompt you for your password. Just walk through it and it'll clear them out.
    If you really want to use open office on os x, i'd highly suggest neooffice

    I have both the 250 gb high performance hard drive and a 1 ter byte hard drive.  What happens when the 250 gb hardrive is full? This on Imac desktop

    Never let a drive get more than 80% to 85% full.
    AND keep 50-100 GB of free space on a startup drive to allow proper function of virtual memory in all OS X versions from 10.5x to current versions.
    10.4x can get by with 20 GB of free space on the boot drive, but more is always better.
    I try and keep all boot drives between 50 and 60% of capacity.
    Beyond 60% and up to 90% capacity, seek times increase almost exponentially; performance suffers.

  • My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well!!

    I have and iphone 6 with iOS 8.1. My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! She have iPhone 6 and and iOS as well. How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well! Setting in mac and iphone are a bit presice and sensitive. Is there any way to solve my issue and increase the safety, security and privacy in my iPhone and its data?

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • Powershell to classify files ( confidential, highly confidential, Business use, and Public ) and encrypt it for confidential & highly confidential types.

    Hello Experts  !!
    I am wondering if PowerShell can be used to classify files (  confidential, highly confidential, Business use, and Public ) and encrypt it for confidential & highly confidential types.
    I found some material for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8.1 but that doesn't seem convincing. I need it for Xp and Windows 7.
    Thanks !

    You may want to consider using FCI (File Classification Infrastructure) in Server 2012 R2. You will need FSRM (File Server Resource Manager), AD RMS (Active Directory Management Services), AD CS (Active Directory Certificate Services, and DAS (Dynamic Access
    Control). You will also need a 2012 level forest and domain, and KDC support for claims, compound authentication, and Kerberos armoring. 
    Microsoft has already developed the software foundation to do exactly what you're looking for at an enterprise scale. It may be easier to implement it, instead of reinventing the wheel..

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    So we have DSL Modem <-> Base Station <-> Computer connected by Ethernet.
    Is the Modem Routing ?
    Is the Base Station set to "Share An IP" ?
    (i.e are there two DHCP servers on your LAN ?)
    Is Internet Sharing On in th G5s System Preferences > Sharing pane ?
    In the Base Station is Port Mapping Protocol Enabled if it is doing routing ?
    It is in the NAT tab of the Internet Pane.
    Is the G5 also doing WiFi to the Base Station ?
    Also check the Modem is not Blocking PINGS as this log shows no PING (But I am not sure it even got that far)

    5DPC Latency very high in Games sound and game freezes?hello, i am new her. I am german, sry for my Bad englisch. i do my best that you unterstand me...
    my problem is very well known in the internet, but i did not find a solution until now...
    My Computer:
    E6300 @ 3 ghz
    Mainboard: Abit Fatalty FP-IN9 with nForce650i-SLI Chipset
    4 Gig DDR2 Ram
    Win 7 64bit
    Soundblaster is a X-fi Titanium PCIe
    when i am in windows, look a film on youtube or on my harddisk the DPC Latency is always " green " and i have no freezes in sound or computer
    But when i start a Computergame like Starcraft the freezes come, and also the DPC Latency goes red.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7Ngg
    I thought the problem is the old Daniel_K 2.0 support pack driver which i installed 6 month ago. I formated my computer todey.
    Installed Windows, installed Ati display driver, than installed orginal Creative driver : 2.7.0008 (26. Juli 200). And then i started Starcraft 2 direct but i did not help. Because of that i think i must be a hardware problem...

  • Envy 14 1095la. High pitched whine sound and fan cycling.

    Hi. I'm in contact with the customer service about 2 (and a 3rd maybe related) annoyances I have on my Envy 14 1095la (XC515LA#ABM) notebook. I want to share them here in case someone has some clues and guidance about them.
    Fan cycles continously on and off every couple of seconds
    ... on light usage (using the low performance GPU and a text editor).
    Reading the temps using Coretemp and HDinfo, I can hear the fan kicking in when CPU temp is above 35º and turning off when it reverts back to this value.
    Enabling the "FAN ALWAYS ON" option on the BIOS (as suggested by the tech guy) has no effect over the problem (yes, the fan remains always on, but you can still hear it cycling RPM constantly).
    Since this model has no option to regulate the FAN via software, the only solution seems to be a BIOS upgrade.
    Sometimes, I can hear a high pitched sound coming from the computer.
    Tech guy suggested me to experiment a bit with this to better understand what can be the problem. I've found so far:
    Seems to be far more frequent if the battery is in place (without the battery I heard it only once, and quiet).
    Seems to be more louder if the battery is in use.
    The sound seems to originate from the Seagate Momentus HD, but It is so high pitched that makes difficult to point the exact origin.
    Messing with the sound options (muting mics, audio etc) seems to have no effect.
    Sometimes I feel a strong vibration on the palmrest
    Perhaps related to the previous, sometimes I can feel a strong vibration on the right palmrest.
    Resting the notebook over different surfaces (or lifting it in the air) seems to have no effect.
    Reading a bit on this forum I can see that  the Seagate Momentus HD is a strong candidate for the vibration+high pitched sound problem, but again, if anyone has a better idea or an aditional test I can made to be sure, is welcomed.
    Thanks!

    Well, notebook is out for repair.
    I've in touch with a level 2 support guy that acknowledged that the "fan cycling" thing is odd and will pass a report to the engineer team (hope HP is not lazy because the Envy refresh and new BIOSes).
    About the high pitched noice and vibrations, they will check the HD, but since SMART values are alright, I doubt they´ll change it.

I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work.  I get this:  This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.

    Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version?  If you removed it, how did you do that?  The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.
