Transcript Map of Laboratory

Above is a schematic map of the laboratory, showing the locations where the
equipment used in Experiments 2-9 is located. Experiment 1 (calibration) is
done using thermistors connected to computers associated with Experiments 3,
4, and 6. (Teams are assigned to these stations by number on the sheet on the
lab door.) Pressure calibration is done with the vacuum line used in Expt. 8,
and the barometer just to your left on entering Door 1.

In Experiments 1, 3, 4, and 6, you will use an electronic interface
(LabWorks) to record temperature (and in Expt. 4, pressure) directly in a
computer file, as a function of time. The computers will usually be ready to go,
but if not, you can find the program easily and start it.
The program logs data into a file named LWData.dat, so in case of a crash,
all is not lost. However, this file is overwritten each time you start logging
data. Thus at the conclusion of each run (or each time you press “Stop”), you
will need to select “Save” and supply a file name. If you let it just run, the
program will stop when it reaches 2000 points, so be sure you have not
exceeded this number in a run, or the data beyond this point will be lost.
