B209 Fitzpatrick is a computer lab used by EGR 103, EGR 224, ECE 382, ME 321, and occasionally ME 344, ME 421 and ME 422.
Contents
Specifications
- 48 networked Windows computers with WIN domain credential logins split up into 24 lab benches
- 1 instructor station Windows 8.1 - equipped with a SMART Sympodium
- Projection system with screen
- WolfVision document camera
- 25 National Instruments NI PCI 6014e or NI PCI 6221 cards (one at instructor station, one per lab bench)
- 20 Circuit Specialists PBB 272 powered breadboards
- 20 Circuit Specialists MS8264 digital multimeters
Using the PCs to Run Unix Programs Remotely
Here is the somewhat long-form of the log-in procedure:
- Pick a PC
- Log in using your OIT WIN credentials
- Start MobaXterm
- Start a new terminal in MobaXterm.
- Type
ssh -XY NETID@login.oit.duke.edu
- where NETID is your NET ID in lower case.
- Type your password when asked - if it gives a warning about a .Xauth file, that's probably fine...
- At the prompt, type to start the xeyes program. You can minimize the program, but you should keep it running to keep your session from timing out.

Problems Logging In or Running Programs
- If your password doesn't work or matlab "doesn't exist,"
- close MobaXterm, re-open it, and try to connect again.
Software
Partial list:
Specifically for EGR 103
As of Fall, 2018:
- Acrobat reader
- ePrint
- MATLAB with toolboxes (esp. Simulink, data acquisition, controls)
- Be sure shortcut has "Start In" of C:\Documents and Settings\mrglocal\My Documents\MATLAB
- Microsoft Office
- National Instruments Measurements and drivers
- National Instruments LabVIEW
- MobaXterm
- SSH (including file transfer)
- Anaconda for Python 3 [1]
- Get pydaqmx and autopep8 packages
Other courses
- Logisim (EGR 224)
