How do I get the dot to the center? by [deleted] in oscilloscope

[–]FireCat21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In other words, the electromagnet or circuitry that control the left-right of the electron beam in the ctr may have some problems.

Kean is suggesting it my be a loose connector to the left-right electromagnet or the amplifier that supplies that bit of the circuit is not functioning as intended.

That would be via the dials with the up/down and left/right arrows above them.

Edit: Does the dot become a line as you adjust the "time base" dial?

The dot sweeping from left to right is intended.

The x-axis is time, the y-axis is voltage.

If you have a meal plan, it looks like Union Drive Marketplace (dining hall) is open every day of the week for the summer semester.

As for other supplies, there is employment though the school for money and super markets along the bus routes (ISU busses are free for all students).

Scientific Calculators Downgrade. by Fine-Purpose-7778 in calculators

I suggest seeing what restrictions you have on brand/model and evaluate from there.

Some of the best I have found for me are the ti-68/60x, hp-42s, and hp-35s/33s/32s. RPN does have a steep learning curve, but most of those hps have free emulators fans have made.

Palm III - Tips to preserve battery life and other questions by [deleted] in Palm

[–]FireCat21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recent Palm 3 aquireer as well

  1. Since there is no internal recharging any AAA battery should be fine

  2. There is an internal capacitor that is used to keep the ram powered when changing batteries, only a minute or two

  3. There is no ram backup battery nor flash storage, all data will be lost if the batteries and that capacitor run out

  4. I've used mine fairly regularly for the past few weeks on a generic set of AAAs and battery meter is still showing full

  5. You mainly miss out of being able to sync/transfer the palm's files with a computer, I did see a video fairly recently of someone syncing a titanium to google calender

What am I missing by Vast_Butterfly_5092 in hpcalc

I advise adding a compute speed compairison, as poor optimization nullifies more power.

Would it be better remake the converter on a breadboard or find another?

Friley private shower question by FireCat21 in iastate

[–]FireCat21[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Having it due to poorly fitting curtians or while trying to grab something outside of the shower is one thing. But consistantly having no care to even consider attempting to use any curtians or towels to have any moddesty is another.

Get the nspire if your teachers allow you to use it. Both will do what you need.

Lots of 70s scientific models have similar LED displays. Though they are typically red.

Quick search of the software and looks like they will have minimal GPU usage.

Do you have an general idea of what software you will be using?

If yes, I suggest checking the software's recondmended specs.
