ELVIS II units - when the DMM leads are connected together with the unit set to read AC current, the unit displays 3.56 mA? Is this normal?

For the ELVIS II unit with the instrument launcher selected - using the DMM to measure AC current: when the leads are connected together, the display show 3.56 mA. Is this normal? Readings do not become accurate until above 10 mArms.

Hello,
Yes, this is normal. The AC modes in DMMs become nonlinear with very small input signals near the bottom end of their ranges. The result is a residual error reading. This is not an offset -- as you noted, the accuracy improves as you increase the input signal. While this threshold is not specified for ELVIS II, it should be around 2% of range (10 mArms in the 500 mArms range, as you observed). By comparison, that threshold is specified as 5% of range for myDAQ and 1% of range for the PXI-4072. 
I hope this helps.

    10.7.4 is the latest update of MacOS X Lion. Run Software Update in System Preferences.
    Since you state to run 10.7.2, Software Update will have to use the combo updater to bring it up to 10.7.4. This will entail a large download that will take some time so have patience. I suggest the following steps:
    Restart the Mac, press and hold Command-R to start up in Recovery Mode (More info: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/ ).
    If needed, select the desired language to move to the next screen (only if it is the first time in Recovery Mode).
    Select Disk Utility in the bottom of the list, Continue...
    Choose the hard disk drive device on the list ( xxx.xx GB APPLE HDD ...) by clicking on it.
    Click on Repair Disk button, wait for it to finish.
    Choose the Lion boot volume, Macintosh HD, by clicking on it.
    Click the Repair Disk button, wait for it to finish. If any errors are found and the process does not end with a "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK." message, click on Repair Disk again.
    Click on the Repair Disk Permissions button. This will take awhile to finish.
    Quit Disk Utilities, choose Restart from the menu.
    Now run Software Update in System Preferences, choose to apply all missing updates. This will take quite awhile, depending on how fast your Internet connection is. The Mac will need to be restarted when the updating is done.
    Run Software Update again to have Safari updated to the latest version. This is necessary since Safari 5.1.7 needs OS X 10.7.4 to be running already.

  • Rollover Slidelet does not function when the trigger & display areas overlap

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to use a rollover slidlet where the user hovers over a specific area (my target area) and then an image appears within that same area; thus I want my target area and display area to be the same. Then when the user clicks on this same area, I also would like the slide to continue onto the next slide. The technique works fine when the trigger area and and the display area DO NOT overlap, but once they do the image in the display area no longer appears and my mouse begins pulsing. Does anyone know how I can get the slidelet to behave like I want it to? Or know of any other way I can accomplish this? Advanced actions?
    Thanks so much.

    Indeed, you cannot have Rollover area and Rollover slidelet in the same place, very annoying.
    Advanced actions cannot be triggered by a rollover event, except for Rollover slidelet, and that is the issue. If you really want a hover over effect, the only way I see is using the Eventhandler widget from InfoSemantics, it is not free:

  • I have a new ipad mini purchased in Dec 2013.  I can not Picture Frame app to display my photos when the ipad screen is locked.  was this feature removed?  if not, how do I turn it on?

    I have a new ipad mini purhased in December 2013 for my father.  I want play the streamed photos on the ipad when the screen is locked.  Similar to what the ipad 2 using Picture Frame.  Unfortunately I can not find the picture frame app on this ioad mini.  Was this feature removed? If yes, are there alternative options?

    I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad.  Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

  • Uninstall SmartWebPrinting when the control panel offers nothing to remove this program

    I have an HP1600 printer. I use Firefox as my browser. Every time I try to open a file, or my browser, the SmartWebPrinting tries to install itself. It is not shown in the "Add or Remove Programs" list. Originally, it was in the list but didn't have the button to click on for removal. I believe my son may have deleted the icon from my list of programs. How can I remove this completetly? I rearely print directly from the internet and it is a nusance when it tries to install.

    Kellers,
    Commentary
    If it is related, then I suspect this is the older version of the program.
    If it is not showing up in Programs and Features, and assuming it should show up, then it may be because is it indeed disabled due to the incompatibility issues -- that part is good.  The missing bits are bad, obviously.
    Do this first:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Ideas
    Perhaps there is a Folder in the system for your "web print"-- you might be able to find it with a search of the C:\Programs Files or C:\Programs Files (x86) folders. 
    For example the newer Smart Print is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard
    You could try moving the folder out of the way.  I have doubts about this working because I cannot see what is going on elsewhere on your system.  I hesitate to suggest you delete the folder for the same reasons  -- I might do so under some circumstances, but telling someone who is in trouble to do something like that (who does not have an Image of their system on hand) is not something I would do.
    OR...
    It occurs to me that you MIGHT be able to fix the problem by updating to the the new version of the program.   I realise you do not WANT the program at all; but a this point if you can update to a working version of the program and THAT version shows up on Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > Smart Print >> THEN you could remove the working version.  Poof!
    OR
    You could try this if you are willing to reload your Browser from scratch.
    For Example
    Back up your bookmarks
    Make a list of your Add-ons that you want to keep.
    If you use a fingerprint reader, back up your Webcards.  If you don't know what this means, you don't use a fingerprinter.
    If you use the Browser website password manager, make sure you know your passwords...
    Download a copy of your Browser.
    Take a deep breadth.
    Delete your browser from Programs and Features.
    Reboot your system.
    Install the browser from the download.
    Open the Browser.
    Manually set up your Add-ons and Plugins.
    Import your Bookmarks and, if using, your Webcard backup.
    Set up your other Options
    I wrote this on the fly -- your browser setup might differ from the one shown...
    Firefox Sync:  I am not sure, but at this point, you could also reset up Sync for Firefox -- I don't use Sync so I am not aware the extent of what it would do.  Assuming you don't have this old webprint issue elsewhere, I suspect you would not inherit from another device or backup.

  • I want to change my settings for country of region from Australia to United Kingdom and everytime i click on United Kingdom the writing appears in arabic. Is this normal?

    I have moved counties (Australia to UK). Everytime i try and change the settings so my country of region is United Kingdom, the writting appears in arabic. (i have tried this several times) Is this normal or an error in the settings?

    If the address and the Country/Region on your account is the UK (it should be on the first screen that you go to when you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Apple ID) then the payment details screen should be UK based - if I select Visa on the payment details screen then it defaults to my name and address (with UK) on my iTunes account.
    Does that first show UK as your country ?

  • HT4061 Hello my name is George.  I have a new replacement 5S that I received this morning.  At this time I have been backing it up from the cloud for over 3 hrs, is this normal?

    Backing up my replacement 5S has taken over three hours and progress indicator is at approx 15%.  Is this normal? Can I disconnect and return to the genius bar for a quick fix?  Can someone provide direction.  Thank you.

    Hey George,
    This is the information from Apple that addresses iCloud restore times:
    The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process may need 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
    If you're traveling between countries, the restore process may require more time than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.

  • After two hours of almost continuous use, the battery is at 50%. Is this normal for my 4S?

    I charged my iPhone 4S overnight and it was at 100% this morning. I used the phone for about two hours on 3G and the meter reads 50%. Is this normal or is it a hardware or software fault?

    Yes, that's faster than normal, IF you don't have all on.
    For a very few iPhone 4S there are still battery problems after the update to 5.0.1.
    Apple will probably come with another iOS update.
    Here is a link what you can do to give you better battery life, by choosing what is on and what is off:

  • Won't connect to wireless when other cpu's are connected

    I apologize if this has been answered, I did look through and didn't find an answer to my issue.. Normally I have no problems connecting my MacBook with 10.4.1 to wireless internet, however, when other users in my household are on it, it will not let me connect. I have tried restarting the router, even when someone opens their laptop it will connect them and boot me off, nobody else has this problem except me. The password on the router is WPA Personal. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the router or with my computer. Thank you in advance for any help as this has been very frustrating for me!

    Hi Carina,
    The very first thing you need to do is get off of OS 10.4.1. (I'm assuming that's not a typo.) The current release of Tiger (OS 10.4 is 10.4.11). Run Software Update and get the latest version of Tiger, then see if your problem continues.

  • External display - getting it to sleep when the computer display sleeps

    Hello
    I recently bought an Acer H203H monitor and have it connected to my MacBook via the DVI connection. I would like the external monitor to dim and sleep much like the built in monitor does but cannot seem to figure out how to do this. If the computer goes to sleep, the external monitor will go in to standby mode.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Duane

    exactly the same here. 2011+dell 24"
    i called apple hotline and they did this with me:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    and
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    after this the external monitor went to sleep flawless. ... but as soon as some usb-ports are busy (with an external drive or something) - even when everything falls asleep the external monitor keeps on again.
    but a least without the usb the monitor now falls asleep too - so there is hope!

  • SCXI 1126 frequency channels are unstable when two or more are connected.

    I have two proximity sensors picking up the spoke of a pully wired into my SCXI-1126 module.  The signal jumps around a lot while both are working.  When only one is sensing and the other is not the signal works good without any problems.  It seems like I am getting cross talk between the two channels.  This is not the first time I've used an 1126 module.  I've done it in other applications with similar sensors without problems.  Could it be the type of prox switch I'm using?  I've got two omron npn sensors.  Is there something else that I am overlooking. 

    Thanks mtdtest.  Revision D is a slightly older version of the board, and this may be related to the issue you are seeing.  You'll need to contact technical support to continue troubleshooting this issue.  You can create a service request online by going to the Request Support page and entering in your information.  Once you create your request, can you please post your service request number here so I can follow the issue as well?  Thanks!

  • Can I use a USB Lead to connect PC with my Printer instead of the network connection?

    I have recently moved my BT home Hub (wireless modem) from my study where it sat beside my printer, into the living room downstairs. So that it’s A, nearest to the BT access point (less loss) and B, it can connect directly to my TV, Blu-ray & BT Vision box. I have used a pair of Powerline adaptors to connect the home hub back to my HP PC and it’s all working very well with a faster broadband speed reaching my PC.
    The only problem I now have is with my printer, which connects wirelessly to the home hub.
     The printer is now right on the edge of the wireless range and really struggles to make a connection, sometimes failing altogether. The printer takes a long while to start up and sometimes fails to collect all of the data.
    My real question is:
    Can I simply connect my PC to the printer using a USB cable (USB A to USB B) and if I do, do I need to make any other changes to the way my PC connects with the printer?

    No problem.  Here's the link for the download for your operating system.  Click Here  When I sent my first post, I wasn't sure which operating system you were using.  
    Here's something you might try first before you do the download.  You can leave the current drivers installed ( might come in handy if you decide to reconnect to the network ).  Click on your Start button, and then select All Programs.  Scroll down to the HP folder and open it.  Then open the folder for the Photosmart 6510.  Select Printer Setup and Software.  You can go through the installation process as you did before, but this time you will choose usb connection.  
    Let me know what happens.

  • How can I change the Video Display Mode when the Monitor displays UNSUPPORTED MODE?

    While setting up my new monitor, I changed the computer Video Display mode to 120 Hz by accident.  Now I can't see a thing on the monitor other than the words UNSUPPORTED MODE.
    My system is a newer HP Pavilion p7-1423W running Windows 8.1 with Intel i5-2320 3ghz
     I have tried the Startup mode by tapping ESC on powerup but the startup options don't help.  And the F11 option on the menu just makes the Startup screen disapear and returns the monitor to UNSUPPORTED MODE.  Tapping F8 doen't work and tapping F12 just puts me into the bios menus which don't help.
     How can I put the integrated Video Card back to a supported video mode when I can't see the screen?

    Try the shift key + F8. If you can get in- doing a System Restore to a day before you messed up the setting should work without a need for Safe Mode.
