Programmed vs measured voltage on Keithley 2400 and other things

Hello everyone,
I have two issues with our Keithley 2400, which we control through Labview, and I would be very grateful for some help/advice. The issues are listed below:
1) We use the 2400 for 4-point probe measurements, so we plot graphs of current vs voltage to get the resistance from the slope of the curve. However, when we look up the data generated during a measurement, the voltage sweep values that we program often, but not always, do not match the measured voltage values. For example, what was meant to be 1 V, might actually end up being 1.2 V or maybe 0.8 V, this can be both positive and negative with respect to the programmed values and is not constant. This also leads to the fact that our curves, although straight (so Ohmic conductor), do not go through the (0, 0) point on the graph.
2) Second problem is that we would like to determine what is the time between successive measurements in a voltage sweep. We have tried some example vi files that by default come with the Labview, e.g. Keithley 24XX Read Multiple - SW Trigger or Keithley 24XX Read Multiple. If someone knew how to find the time separation, then we would be grateful. We only have control over the number of invididual readings taken and the timeout, which we guess is the maximum time allowed for the measurement.
Many thanks!

Good Afternoon PiotrW,
1. Could you please provide the code you are using to program the voltage sweeps?
2. You could use the timestamp output of the Keithley 24XX.lvlib:Read (Multiple Points).vi to allow you to find the time difference between successive samples. It should be a simple case of subtracting succesive measurements from each other to find the time difference between data points.

What to do to back Clear private data and other things I loose?

It has about 15 days ago, it appear window Firefox on my desktop, to download 3.6.13 version. Inside this window wrote "URGENT" in yellow color, and attention, "computer online attack". When I finish to install this Firefox, I saw that I loose Clear Private Data and other things I had in the first line, on the top of computer (sign of mail etc.), and things where is the star and flash. 1. Was it yours or send it to me someone else...? 2. Does this 3.6.13 include Clear private data? 3. What to do to have again Clear private data? Please, wrote step by step, 4. What to do to back other important things I loose?

You may have picked up a malware infection by allowing that install.<br />
You should never respond to such unrequested pop-ups.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

HT1338 How does one uninstall Garageband and other things?

How does one uninstall Garageband and other things on the Macbook air?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos, documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want to move those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again to another external hard drive 1T. My question is:

I had a windows laptop, and I save files like photos,documents, videos and other things on an external hard drive, and now I want tomove those files to the Mac book Pro, and then move those files again toanother external hard drive 1T. My question is: Is it possible? Doing this willnot affect the files that I had in windows? No information is lost? or how cani do it?

Connect the external drive to your Mac and drag the files from it to your Mac's internal drive. Then dismount and disconnect the external drive, connect the 1TB external drive, and drag the files from the internal drive onto the external. Nothing will have been deleted from any of the drives up to this point; the files will only have been copied. Verify that the files are readable. There's no reason they shouldn't be; this is just a precaution.
Now if you wish to delete the files from any of the drives, drag them to the Trash, and Empty the Trash while the drive from which they came is still connected. If you disconnect the drive before emptying the Trash, the files you were trying to remove from it won't be deleted. They'll remain in the Trash and continue to take up space on the drive.
Note that if your external drives are in NTFS format, you won't be able to write anything to them or delete anything from them, though you will be able to read and copy the files they contain. The NTFS disk format is read-only to the Mac OS, unless you have a third-party NTFS driver installed. To make your drives cross-platform readable and writable, you must reformat them in the FAT32 or ExFAT format.

You need an Apple TV to be able to wirelessly send pictures etc. from iPhone.
However you can buy an adapter if you want to connect to a TV

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Adobe has given up on mobile flash for any device. They announced this a while ago.
They admitted mobile flash is a disaster and are jumping on the HTML 5 bandwagon.
Adobe has moved on, why can't you?

If your Mac meets these requirements:

then you can order a Snow Leopard disk and install it.

I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.
Cheers!

Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.
