Set the Picture Mode for use with SDR conte nt. Some users like to use a “Custom” Gamma to emulate BT1886 (see step #2). However, you can use whatever Gamma you prefer, such as 2.2 or 2.4. Contrast, Brightness, Color and Tint should be set using external test patterns or 3 party calibration tools.3Optional: Shown below is a Custom Gamma setting that emulates BT1886, for use with SDR content from the Envy. This small increase in the Dark Level setting can improve shadow detail. If you are using calibration software to calibrate the JVC through the Envy, there is no need to create a Custom Gamma, as you can pick your own target Gamma curve in the calibration software and use a standard Gamma such as 2.2 or 2.4 in step 1.4Next, we create the Picture Mode that contains all the settings we want the JVC to use when the When you select the “Color Profile” option shown above, it will list the available options, as seen below. You should select BT.2020 if you wish to use the DCI P3 Cinema Filter (not present in the RS1000/NX5), or HDR if you do not want the filter to be used (to gain a little extra brightness at the expense of a somewhat narrower color gamut for BT2020 content).5Other options for the desired HDR Picture Mode are available, as shown below. The choice of Lamp power and Aperture (Manual or Dynamic Iris setting, Auto 1 or Auto 2) are up to the user, depending on overall brightness available and user preferences.Next, we configure the JVC to select the Picture Mode we want it to use when it detects the HDR Flag. This is done using the “HDR Setting” menu, as shown below. When you select the “HDR10 Auto Select” menu option, the available Picture Modes ar e shown. In this case, SDR-BT2020, which we created in the preceding steps, is selected as the one to be used for HDR content.6Important note 1: To prevent the JVC from applying its own HDR tone mapping on top of the Envy’s tone mapping (which would look quite bad), make sure that you do not select HDR10, Frame Adapt HDR or HDR-Normal.Important note 2: In the Envy’s “Display Calibration” menu, shown in Appendix A, the HDR Flag must be set to “On.” This is what triggers the JVC to use the Picture Mode that we created in the previous steps whenever it is receiving tone mapped HDR from the Envy.Next, we select the Anamorphic mode and Aspect setting. Below is an example of an Installation Mode setting you can use. Note that the “2.35:1” label shown here is nothing more than the name assigned to this Installation Mode in this example. Please set these menu options as follows:A.Always set the Anamorphic option to Off, even if you have an anamorphic lens (in whichcase you will configure the Envy settings to use its AI-based anamorphic stretch instead). B.Aspect should be set to Auto. Regardless of the Aspect Ratio of the Screen or content, theEnvy can be configured to optimize the picture size with the use of its Profile system, along with its Black Bar Detection and Management options. For more information see theIntroduction to Profiles guide and the Scope Screen Setup guide at Optional: The Screen Adjust menu can be used to compensate for the color shift of the screen. If you are performing a calibration and taking measurements off the screen, this is not needed. Otherwise, this setting may help you get closer to the D65 target color temperature. You can input the “Screen No.” code for the screen being used here. JVC provides codes in their manual and website for a wide variety of screens.Under the Motion Control section, we recommend Low Latency Off, Clear Motion Drive on Low, and Motion Enhance Off. These settings, however, should be set to taste by the user.8This concludes the setup of the JVC projector. Be sure to review the Envy Quick Start Guide as well for how to set up the Envy in general.。

The VariableSpeed/Dimming Module (VDM) provides the ability to control the Aqua Illumination LED lighting systems as well as adding 4 additional variable speed ports. The Aqua Illumination’s interface allows for the independent control of both the blue and white LEDs. In addition, sunrise/sunset, cloud and lightning simulation are also available. The 4 variable speed ports (0-10V interface) allow precise 0 to 100% control of Tunze stream pumps as well as dimming of some compatible ballasts. You can control them based on time of day, in response to feed timers, or any event you can think of using the powerful Apex programming language.FEATURES•Supports the Aqua Illumination LED lighting systems through a serial communication link.•Sunrise/Sunset Simulation, Cloud Simulation*, and Lightning*.•Lighting and pump modes can be changed based on conditions and events throughout the day using powerful Apex programming commands.• 4 independently variable speed ports (0-10V)•Variable speed ports can be used for light dimming, Tunze stream variable speed control, or with other 0-10V compatible devices.•The VDM attaches to and is powered by the Apex system via AquaBus.•Automatic Plug N Play for easy setup and configuration.•Upgradable firmware through AquaBus.•Multi-color LED Status indicator.• 2 AquaBus ports for flexible system connections.•Comes with a 3' AquaBus cable.•Compatible with Apex and Apex Lite systems*Weather simulation affects are only available on the Aqua Illumination serialinterface.PHYSICAL INSTALLATIONWARNING: Your Apex Base Module must be running firmware version 4.04 or higherto support the Wireless Expansion Module (VDM). The current firmware version can be checked from the Apex Display on the Self Test screen. If needed, please upgrade the Apex Base Module firmware to 4.04 or higher before proceeding with the installation. See the Apex Setup and Programming Guide for firmware upgrade instructions.The AquaController VDM should be securely mounted in a location free from moisture. Use wood screws through the mounting tabs of the expansion module case or if mounting on drywall, use drywall anchors (mounting hardware not included).•Mount all modules above the water line of the aquarium.•Be sure to utilize drip loops on all power cords, AquaBus cables and probe cables.WARNING: Water damage will void your warranty! Mount all modules in locations safefrom moisture exposure.INITIAL CONNECTIONSPlug one end of the included AquaBus cable into one of the AquaBus ports on the VDM and the other end into an available AquaBus port on your existing Apex system. It makes no difference which AquaBus port is used and you do not need to power down the system when connecting AquaBus accessories as the system is plug-and-play.WARNING: NEVER plug standard USB devices into any AquaBus connector or AquaBusaccessories into computer USB ports. Damage to the AquaBus accessory and/or USB device may result.When connecting the VDM to an Aqua Illuminations lighting system using the optionalinterface cable, it is important to plug the phono connector first into the AI Lights and then plug the DB9 end into the serial connector on the VDM. Failure to do it in thisorder may result in damage to the VDM.STARTUPAs soon as the VDM is connected to an active AquaBus, the module will power up and begin to initialize. When first connected to an AquaController Base Module (through the AquaBus), the VDM will automatically be assigned an AquaBus address and be added to the AquaController configuration. The LED Status indicator on the VDM will flash yellow while it is being initialized. Once initialized, the LED Status indicator will be solid green. The LED Status indicator will flash when the VDM is powered on and communication with the AquaController Base Module is lost.VERIFY THE INSTALLATIONVerify the VDM was initialized and added to the AquaController Apex configuration: Apex Display: Setup – Module Setup – Modify Name – from this screen, you cansee all AquaBus modules installed on the system.Web Interface: Configuration – Module Setup – Verify the VDM is listed in the Apex Module List. Also 6 outlets are automatically created which can be configuredConfiguration – Outlet Setup. The initial names of the VDM outlets are VarSpd1_X_1 to VarSpd4_X_4, BluLED_X_5, and WhtLED_X_6.UPDATE VDM FIRMWAREA new version of firmware for the VDM may be included with Apex Base Module firmware updates. You should check the firmware version status when the VDM is first installed and after updating the AquaController Base Module firmware. See the section titled Updating Firmware in the AquaController Apex Setup and Programming Guide for instructions to update AquaController Apex Base Module and WXM firmware.To check or update an Apex module firmware:Apex Display: Setup – Module Setup – Update Module – use the up/down arrows to highlight the Apex module to update, push Select to update.Web Interface: Configuration – Module Setup – in the Module Configure area, inthe Module: box, select the Apex module to update from the dropdown list, click the Update Firmware radio button, click the Submit Module Update button, a newbrowser window will open to display the update status.CONFIGURING THE VDMWhen the VDM is installed the Apex automatically installs 4 variable speed outlets (named VarSpd1_X_1 to VarSpd1_X_4) that can be used to control Tunze Streams Pumps or lighting ballasts with 0-10V variable intensity features. Also it automatically adds two lights (to the system to support the Aqua Illuminations interface). The default names for the LED lights are BluLED_X_5 and WhtLED_X_6 for the blue and white LEDs respectively.The 4 variable speed ports and the 2 Aqua Illumination lights can be turned on and off with normal programming commands, however this does not provide a way to vary the output voltage which in turn varies the speed of the pump or brightness of the lighting. To take full advantage of variable/dimming features, we use Profiles. You can define up to 16 Profiles, each of which can define a unique set of operating conditions. The Profile in use for a port can be switched based on programming events such as feed timers, time of day, switch levels, etc. Each variable speed port can be programmed to use a different Profile, or they all can use the same Profile, it is up to you. The VDM supports 3 different types of Profiles; pump, ramp, weather.PUMP PROFILE TYPEThe Pump Profile is typically used to oscillate the speed of a pump from one speed to a higher speed and back. Popular use of this feature is to create resonant or chaotic waves in larger tanks depending on if the waves are synchronized or not. The Pump Profile uses the Minimum Intensity setting to specify the speed of the pump when set “off” by the Profileand the Maximum Intensity setting to specify the speed of the pump when set “on” by the Profile. When the pump is turned off by a line of program code like “If FeedA then OFF”, the pump will be totally off (the Minimum Intensity setting is not used). The pump Profile contains the following parameters:Synchronize: when enabled, a port using this Profile will synchronize its Initial Off time with the previous pump Profile (i.e. if enabled on Profile 2, it will sync with Profile 1). Synchronize is useful for creating large waves through constructive interference with pumps on either side of the tank.Divide by 10: when enabled, all times in the Profile are divided by 10 (i.e. 56 seconds becomes 5.6 seconds).Figure 1 - Profiles Setup ScreenInitial Off Time: when a pump with this Profile is first activated, it will be OFF initially for this time (in seconds unless divide by 10 is enabled).On Time: once the Initial Off Time expires, the pump will be ON for this amount of time (in seconds unless divide by 10 is enabled).Off Time: once the On Time expires, the pump will be OFF for this amount of time (in seconds unless divide by 10 is enabled).Minimum Intensity: the port output in percent when the pump is “off”Maximum intensity: the port output in percent when the pump is “on”WARNING: Tunze recommends an intensity of 30% or higher for Tunze StreamsPumps. For best results and longevity of your pumps, never set the Minimum Intensity lower than 30%.For example, assume the following settings:Synchronize = offDivide by 10 = offInitial off time = 10On time = 15Off time = 20Minimum Intensity = 30Maximum Intensity = 70Using this Profile, the pump will run at 30% for 10 seconds, 70% for 15 seconds, 30% for 20 seconds, 30% for 10 seconds, 70% for 15 seconds, 30% for 20 seconds, etc.RAMP PROFILE TYPEThe Ramp Profile is used to ramp the port output voltage (up or down) from one intensity to another over a period of time. It is typically used to ramp lights on or off but can also be used with pumps to simulate varying intensity of tidal currents for example.Ramp Time: period in minutes over which the ramp should occur.Start Intensity: the starting intensity in percentEnd Intensity: the ending intensity in percentWEATHER PROFILE TYPEThe Weather Profile is used to simulate weather changes. Sunny, cloudy, and lightning effects can all be specified with this profile.Light Maximum Intensity (%): the lighting intensity during sunny periods.Cloudy light Intensity (%): the intensity of the lights during a cloudy period.Cloud Duration (MMM): the number of minutes for each cloudy period.Cloudy Time (%): the percent of time that it will be cloudy.Probability of Lightning (%) : a metric which sets the frequency of a lightning strike during cloud cover. 0% means no lightning will occur and a 100% value means that lightning will occur almost continuously. This parameter is only valid for the Aqua Illumination White lights. Not valid for the variable speed ports or the blue LEDs. Lightning Intensity (%): the lightning white light intensity during a lightning strike. It can be set between 0 and 100%. This parameter is only valid for the Aqua Illumination White lights. Not valid for the variable speed ports or the blue LEDs. PROGRAMMING EXAMPLESRefer to the Apex Owners for instructions on how to configure and program outlets. These examples will give you a sample of the flexible control that is available by the VDM to control pump and lighting systems.SIMPLE LIGHT PROGRAM EXAMPLEThe following program and profiles are used for each of the Aqua Illumination outlets. They cause both the blue and white LEDs lights to simulate sunrise (0% to 100% intensity) from 8:00 to 9:00, turn full on from 9:00 to 20:00, and then simulate sunset (100% to 0% intensity) from 20:00 to 21:00.<BluLED_X_5>Fallback OffSet OFFIf Time 8:00 to 9:00 Then RampUpIf Time 9:00 to 20:00 Then ONIf Time 20:00 to 21:00 Then RampDn<WhtLED_X_6>Fallback OffSet OFFIf Time 8:00 to 9:00 Then RampUpIf Time 9:00 to 20:00 Then ONIf Time 8:00 to 9:00 Then RampDnThe RampUp and RampDn Profiles are defined as follows:<RampUp Profile>Ramp time: 60 minutesStart intensity: 0End intensity: 100<RampDn Profile>Ramp time: 60 minutesStart intensity: 100End intensity: 0ADVANCED LIGHT PROGRAM EXAMPLEThe following example assumes that the VDM is connected to the Aqua Illumination lighting system via our interface cable (part # AICABLE).

*988-11035-002*Sensor Setup GuideThis document describes the setup for the following sensors:• Fluid Level Sensor – tank levels for fuel*, water, gray water, live well, oil, and black water• Fuel Flow Sensor – flow rate measurements of fuel for gasoline powered boats• Fuel Data Manager – fuel used data from fuel flow messages it receives from up to threeNMEA 2000 compatible engines• Temperature Sensor – temperatures for water*, outside, inside, engine room, cabin, live well,bait well, refrigeration, and heating system• Thru-Hull Temperature Sensor - temperatures for water*, outside, inside, engine room, cabin,live well, bait well, refrigeration, and heating system• Speed Sensor – boat speed• Pressure Sensor – pressure data: Engine Boost Pressure, Engine Oil Pressure, Engine WaterPressure*, Transmission Oil Pressure and Pitot Speed* Sensor is pre-configured to display this information.¼Note: The sensor must be installed and connected to the NMEA 2000 network. For installationand connection information, refer to the installation guide for the sensor.After the sensor is connected, you can display sensor data. For more information, refer to yourdisplay operating manual.Sensor SetupUse the Device Information dialog to set the device name, configure, view sensor data, andfor some sensors calibrate and set alarms.Select the sensor in the Device List to display the sensor Device Information dialog. Thefollowing example shows selecting the Fluid Level sensor from a Simrad NSS Evo2.ConfigurationSelect the Configure button in the Device Information dialog to open the configuration dialog.Use the configuration dialog to configure specifics. For example, use the Fluid Level – Device configuration dialog to specify the:• Tank (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5)• Fluid type• Size of the tank• Instance - the Instance is determined by the configuration process and should not require user adjustment, except in the case of the Fuel Data Manager. The Fuel Data Manger can work with up to 3 engines. If more than 3 engines are mounted on the vessel, the instance of the second Fuel Data Manager will need to be manually changed from 0 to 1.• Unconfigure - sets all the values of the selected sensor to the factory default settings CalibrationThe Fluid Level and Fuel Flow sensors can be calibrated from the Device Information dialog. Fluid Level sensor calibrationThe factory calibration settings for the Fluid Level sensor should be adequate for mostapplications, but if your tank has an irregular shape, your tank float uses a different resistance range other than the U.S. standard of 240-33 Ohms, or if greater accuracy is needed,calibration is recommended. We recommend starting calibration with an empty tank; you will fill the tank to complete the calibration process.Select the Calibrate button in the Fluid Level - Device Information dialog to open thecalibration dialog. Select the calibration point and then the fuel level for the point, as you fill your tank. There are three calibration options:• 2-point calibration - for rectangular or square-shaped tanks, where the capacity of the top half of the tank matches the capacity in the lower half of the tank. If you start with an empty tank;1. calibrate the tank as: empty2. fill the tank to full and calibrate it as: full.• 3-Point Calibration - for tanks that vary in shape from the top to the bottom. If you start with an empty tank;1. calibrate the tank as: empty2. fill the tank to full and calibrate it as: full3. deplete the tank to 1/2 full and calibrate it as: half full.• 5-point calibration - for tanks that vary greatly in shape from top to bottom. If you start with an empty tank;1. calibrate the tank as: empty2. fill the tank to full and calibrate it as: full3. deplete the tank to 3/4 full and calibrate it as: 3 Qtr. full4. deplete the tank to 1/2 full and calibrate it as: half full5. deplete the tank to 1/4 full and calibrate it as: 1 Qtr. full.Fuel Flow sensor calibrationThe factory calibration settings for the Fuel Flow sensor is adequate in most cases. However, if Fuel Used readings are off, calibration is recommended. Repeat the process for each Fuel Flow Sensor.To check fuel flow accuracy you need to show Fuel Used data on your display. Use it to check the accuracy of information coming from the Fuel Flow sensor:1. Fill up your tank and in the Refuel dialog specify that the tank is full. Do not calibrate your FuelFlow sensor at this point.2. Run your engine and burn several liters (a few gallons) of fuel. Be sure to run only the enginewhich has the fuel sensor.3. Completely fill up your tank again, noting how much fuel you added to the tank. Comparethat number to the Fuel Used figure shown on your display.If the amount of fuel you added to the tank and the fuel used amount are off by more than 3 percent, we recommend the Fuel Flow sensor be calibrated.To calibrate the Fuel Flow sensor:1. Access calibration from the Refuel dialog after you have filled your tank and noted theamount you added to the tank.2. Specify the amount added and select the Set to full check-box in the Refuel dialog.3. Select the Calibrate button.The following is an example showing the Refuel dialog and Calibrate dialog from a Simrad NSS evo2.4. Set the ‘actual amount used’ based on amount of fuel added to tank.5. The ‘Fuel K-Value’ should now show a new value.¼Note: To calibrate multiple engine flow sensors repeat the steps, one engine at a time.Alternatively, run all engines simultaneously, and divide the ‘Actual amount used’ by thenumber of engines. This assumes reasonably even fuel consumption on all engines.Alarms and DataSelect the Alarms button to setup alarms for the Fluid Level sensor and the Pressure sensor.When a set value is exceeded an alarm is displayed.¼Note: Alarms are not available for all sensors.Select the Data button to display data that the sensor is providing to the NMEA 2000 network.ComplianceThe sensors:• Comply with CE under EMC directive 2004/108/EC• Comply with the requirements of level 2 devices of the Radio communications (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standard 2008The relevant Declaration of Conformity is available on the following websites:• • • 。

Laterenhancements to the protocol allow communication over other types of networks.MODBUS is a Master/Slave protocol. The Master establishes a connection to theremote Slave. When the connection is established, the Master sends theMODBUS commands to the Slave. The MVI56E-MCM module can work as aMaster and as a Slave.The MVI56E-MCM module also works as an input/output module between itselfand the Rockwell Automation backplane and processor. The module uses aninternal database to pass data and commands between the processor andMaster and Slave devices on MODBUS networks.MVI56E-MCM / MCMXT ♦ ControlLogix Platform The Sample ApplicationModbus Communication Module Setup GuidePage 16 of 58 ProSoft Technology, Inc.4.2 General OverviewThis Setup Guide shows you how to configure the MVI56E-MCM module andestablish communication with a Modbus device (a Quantum processor, for this example).The MVI56E-MCM Port 1 (P1) will be configured as a Modbus Master device.

The first twojumpers (PRT1 and PRT2) set the serial communication mode: RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.The following illustration shows the MVI56E-MCM jumper configuration.1 The sample application will connect the MVI56E-MCM application port P1 tothe target device using the supplied null-modem cable (RS-232). Set the PRT1 jumper for RS-232.2 The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module’s flash memory.In "write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and themodule’s firmware cannot be overwritten. The module is shipped with theSetup pins jumpered, so that you can update the module’s firmware ifnecessary. As you will not be updating the firmware for this procedure,remove the setup jumper and store it in a safe place (for example, on onlyone of the pins).Note: If you are installing the module in a remote rack, you may prefer to leave the Setup pinsjumpered. That way, you can update the module’s firmware without requiring physical access tothe module.5.1.2 Install the Module in the RackIf you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor andpower supply, please do so before installing the MVI56E-MCM module. Refer toyour Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.Warning: You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other electronicdevices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to hardware or data, or evenserious injury or death to personnel. Refer to the documentation for each device you plan toconnect to verify that suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing thedevice.After you have checked the placement of the jumpers, insert the MVI56E-MCMinto the ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended byRockwell Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules.You can install or remove ControlLogix system components while chassis poweris applied and the system is operating. However, please note the followingwarning.Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arccan occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by:sending an erroneous signal to your system’s actuators causing unintended machine motion or loss of process controlcausing an explosion in a hazardous environmentVerify that power is removed or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding. Repeated electricalarcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worncontacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.Page 22 of 58 ProSoft Technology, Inc.1 Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and then slide it into therack until the module is firmly against the backplane connector.2 With a firm, steady push, snap the module into place.3 Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securelyin the locking holes of the rack.4 Make a note of the slot location. You must identify the slot in which themodule is installed in order for the sample program to work correctly. Slot numbers are identified on the green circuit board (backplane) of the ControlLogix rack. 5 Turn power ON.Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working, or may behave unpredictably.Note:When using the MVI56EMCMXT, you must use the 1756-A5XT or 1756-A7LXT chassis.5.1.3 Connect Your PC to the Module's Ethernet PortWith the module securely mounted, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the C ONFIG (E1) Port, and the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch accessible from the same network as your PC.

THE Q uest of the MCMConquering the Math Contest in Modeling)sponsors the Math-ematical Contest in Modeling(MCM),an international contest for undergraduates.We will discuss our strategy for developing models,writing the paper,the contest timeline,and team dynamics.Contents1What is the MCM?2 2A Strong Paper4 3A Strong Team10 4A Strong Timeline14 5Searching for the Optimal Solution18 6Common Failures to Avoid21 7Closing Remarks22 A2006Questions221What is the MCM?In the MCM,three-person teams are given96hours to develop mathematical models to solve a real-world problem,evaluate their solution,and write a research paper describing the results. These papers are generally around thirty pages long.The questions are open-ended and over a broad range of topics.Past problems includefingerprint identification,submarine tracking,air traffic control,and velociraptor hunting strategies.Does your leisure reading include math books?Have you ever programmed a quick game on your TI-86to stave offboredom?Is the Mathematica vs.Matlab debate interesting to you? Have you ever considered simulating the growth of grass?Then the MCM is for you.Even if you aren’t an¨u ber-nerd,we recommend the contest to you.Why?Practice for a thesis.The MCM will teach you a lot about organization,clarity,and time management.Reading papers.Reading previous research is essential to the MCM,and96hours of searching for critical information will develop your ability to extract useful bits quickly.Prototyping skills.You will learn to look at a problem and come up with a fast prototype solution.This is invaluable in programming,math,or science of any sort.Reputation.If you manage to win,it looks great on a r´e sum´e.Severalfinancial companies make a specific point of recruiting MCM winners.At the beginning of the contest,you are given a choice between two problems†.Over past contests,Problem A tends to be“continuous”—problems with continuously varying parameters, especially the modeling of physical phenomena.Problem B tends to be“discrete”—problems like queuing,routing,and scheduling.The2006contest problems are reproduced in Appendix A(p.22).A useful15-minute exercise is to read them with your teammates,discuss which one you would hypothetically choose,and brainstorm possible approaches and simplifying assumptions.JudgingMCM papers are judged by a panel of mathematicians and math educators.In thefirst round of judging,only the paper summaries are read.Papers that pass thefirst round continue to the following rounds,where papers are more carefully read and ranked into several tiers.By percentage†,the tiers are•60%Successful Participant•25%Honorable Mention•15%Meritorious•1%-2%OutstandingAdditionally,two teams receive the Ben Fusaro Prize,recognizing the development of a creative model and a paper which is pleasant to read.Outstanding papers are considered for the SIAM Prize,the MAA Prize,and the INFORMS Prize from the respective societies.Contest Rules&LogisticsYour team must be registered for the contest by early February.Once the contest begins,you may not add or change a teammate,though you may remove a teammate if necessary.A team may have at most three students,and no student may belong to more than one team.Papers must be typed and in English.Solution submissions must be paper only;non-paper materials such as computer disks are not accepted.At registration,each team is assigned a control number.The team control number must appear at the top of every page,along with the page number,for example:Team#321Page6of13Other than the control number,the paper must in no way identify the students, the advisor,or the school.For more detailed contest rules,see/undergraduate/contests/mcm/instructions.php.HistoryThe University of Colorado at Boulder has a strong history in the MCM:2001Honorable Mention Grant Macklem,Saverio Spagnolie,Tye Rattenbury Meritorious Jim Barron,Jill Kamienski,Olivia Koski2003Honorable Mention Joe Carrafa,Kimi Kano,Ian Derrington Meritorious Moorea Brega,Alejandro Cantarero,Corry LeeOutstanding,SIAM Prize Darin Gillis,Aaron Windfield,David Lindstone2005Honorable Mention Brandon Booth,Rachel Danson,Kristopher Tucker Meritorious Thomas Josephson,Edmund Lewis,Laura Waterbury Outstanding Brian Camley,Brad Klingenberg,Pascal GetreuerWe hope this trend continues.That said,don’t be too disappointed if your team does not win Outstanding.Teams that participate again often progress one tier higher each year.It is unusual for a team to win Outstanding in theirfirst attempt.2A Strong PaperThe MCM is in part a contest of communication skills.Ultimately,it is your paper that delivers your ideas and results to the judges,and thus it is as much a presentation as a report.No matter the quality of your research,you must communicate effectively in order for the judges to see it.During the contest,around half of your team’s time should be directed toward writingthe paper.Having a well-written paper is nearly as important as solving the problem itself.Background ResearchYour initial research will be critical in framing the problem.The MCM,like any research,begins by understanding the problem and reading previous research.Learn the basics of the problem context:existing models,previous approaches,and especially the nomenclature.When we solved the2004fingerprint problem ourfirst year,we spent a very unproductivefirst day before we found the concept of“minutiae”infingerprints.This led us to the central postulate of our paper:twofingerprints are identical if they would be identified as the same person by the FBI.If we had found Stoney and Thornton’s paper“A Critical Analysis of Quantitative Fingerprint Individuality Models”on thefirst day rather than the third,our paper would have been much more thorough.Ten minutes of research can save you a day’s work!!Don’t limit your research to internet sources.While internet sources are quick and convenient tofind,they should primarily be used to lead to scholarly work or peer-reviewed literature.Once youfind a paper on topics relevant to your problem,follow its citations and find the journals that often write about these topics.For example,most of thefingerprint literature is in journals of forensic science,traffic studies are in specialist journals and the statistical physics literature,and irrigation is studied in agricultural literature.The Journal of the American Medical Association is more credible than the Wikipedia and Slashdot communities.Your campus library will have access to online databases of academic journals.These databases require school subscription,so you will have to access these either on campus computers or through a VPN setup.Ask your reference librarian,and get this set up ahead of time!Some starting points:•Google Scholar •Engineering •Elsevier •IEEE Transactions It All Comes Down to ModelsAs the MCM is the Math Contest in Modeling,solving the problem is all about models. Developing a successful model requires identifying the central question to the problem.Attempt to distill the given problem statement into one(or several)simple questions.Keep this question in mind while telling the“story”of your solution in your paper.Focusing on the key questions may also help to identify analogous problems in differentfields.All models rely upon simplifying assumptions.Be sure that each assumption you make is explicitly identified and explained.We suggest including an entire“Assumptions”section or subsection in your paper.Try to motivate each assumption,citing work where the assumption has been made previously.When making assumptions remember that you are walking a tightrope between ignoring extraneous details and artificially changing the problem.Be sure that the key question of the problem remains unchanged.Avoid assigning afixed“reasonable”value to parameters that really assume a range of values:in yourfinal analysis you should examine how your results depend on this parameter.For example, in the2005highway tollbooth problem,one clear parameter was the rate of incoming traffic. Understanding the behavior as this parameter varied was critical in solving the problem.Use Multiple ModelsMCM problems are usually better approached with not one,but multiple pare with the literature to motivate your models and to validate your results.A common approach to modeling is to use a sequence of increasingly refined models.Even if thefirst model egregiously simplifies the problem,it may provide insights to the basic behavior and inspire improved models.This progression leads to a respectable and satisfyingfinal model, with its validity stemming from the preceding models.At least,this is the intention.The danger with the refinement approach is that later models are too easily empirically motivated,and for this reason,ad hoc.This is especially true of models based entirely on one monolithic simulation.You must compare the results of your models with theory or against the results of other models:check that you are not fooling yourself.This is partly a question of good modeling,and partly a question of ethics.The more you attack your assumptions,the more rigorous your results become.Without critical analysis and a foundational rationale,justification for thefinal model is shaky andtop-heavy.It is often useful to consider the behavior of your model in limiting cases.If you have developed a model for multi-lane traffic,consider what it predicts when there is only one lane—is it consistent with intuition?How about data from the literature?Be sure that your model does not make absurd predictions for limiting cases.!Avoid dishonesty and bullshit.In2003,the“gamma knife”problem required teams to achieve90%coverage of the target volume.Most teams found this to be impossible,yet the Outstanding papers acknowledged this and explained their shortcomings.They did not try to conceal the fact that they could not meet the requirement.Additionally,many teams founda useful internet source on the grassfire transform,however,many did not cite it.Severalwould-be Outstanding teams were demoted for failing to cite sources.Write a Strong SummaryThe most important page in your paper is the summary sheet(abstract).In thefirst round of judging,this is the only part read.Almost half of the papers are eliminated from competition based only on their summaries.The summary should be written last,once all conclusions have been made.A good summary concisely states the problem,the methods for solution,and conclusions,while highlighting the merits of your approach.A summary should be more than a chronology of what you did(“A model wasfirst developed...A simulation was implemented...It was then concluded...”).On the other extreme,the point of a summary is not to create suspense—state conclusions clearly.The summary should be brief;although a whole page is devoted to the summary,it need not and should not be completelyfilled.In our approach to the summary,each team member independently writes a summary.Then as a group,the best sentences from each summary are strung together to produce another summary.This summary is elaborated,reworded,andfine-tuned,until it says everything that needs to be said as clearly and concisely as possible.Write an Easily Skimmable PaperIn the second round of judging,judges will skim your paper.To make your paper skimmable, it must include and clearly label these sections:Introduction:Introduce the background and the problem.Assumptions:Explain all of your assumptions.Conclusion:Concisely answer the original problem.Strengths&Weaknesses:Critically assess your approach.References:Cite all references.Additionally,make your paper more skimmable with the following compositional guidelines.Use sections,subsections,and sub-subsections with descriptive heading titles.Use bold,etc.on key results to catch the eye.Use bullet lists.Usefigures and tables with concise captions.Intersperse these elements to break up long,uninterrupted lengths of text.Keepfigures simple:less is more.Avoid placing a large number offigures on the same !page,especially without explanation.Also,don’t confuse plots and data visualizations with figures in the rmation-laden data visualizations are great for your understanding, butfigures in the paper must be as simple and direct as possible.Be sure to check that all figures are legible at the scale they are printed.Stylistic ConsiderationsIt is common to show a developing“story”of your solution in the body of the paper.As in any technical writing,write plainly and favor shorter words over longer ones.Particularly,it can be seen that theflamboyant,obdurate,and ostensibly decorous misuse of the passive tense and excessive vocabulary tends,thereby,to result in long,awful sentences.Among hundreds of papers,it helps if your paper has a unique,catchy title.If possible,set aside time to brainstorm paper titles.Don’t use anything pretentious like A Novel Approach to...:Just don’t.Seriously.We wouldn’t mention it if it didn’t keep on happening.As part of anyone’s writing education,worthwhile references are Strunk&White’s The Elements of Style[16]and Williams’Style:Toward Clarity and Grace[17].Specifically on technical writing style,see also the Handbook of Technical Writing by Brusaw[1].Our basic philosophy of writing is:clarity before grammar.In this sense,we recommend Strunk &White not for its grammar rules(which are questionable),but for its own style of simplicity.Section SummaryConsider the paper a presentation,not a report.Do extensive background research.Use multiple models for cross-validation.Use organizational elements to make a skimmable paper.Mind your writing style,and brainstorm a catchy title.3A Strong TeamA common division of tasks[2]is to elect the writer,whose task is handling most of the writing, the programmer,in charge of simulations and other numerical work,and“the third,”han-dling miscellaneous tasks and assisting the other two.All teammates should participate in the background research and model formulation,and all teammates should work together on the summary andfinal editing.However,roles need not be so clearly defined.For example,our head writer also programmed, and we all contributed portions of the writing.Ideally,all three teammates can both program and write,switching between roles as necessary.ProgrammingIn any MCM team,at least one team member should be comfortable with a computer program-ming language.Prototyping languages(high-level interpreted languages like Matlab,Python, and Java)are particularly well-suited for the contest.However,the best choice of language is one where your team can most comfortably perform the following essentials.Visualize data.Line plots,surface plots,histograms,and other means to visualize data are invaluable in understanding a problem.If your choice programming environment isgraphically-limited,learn to export data to Microsoft Excel,Gnuplot,or other graphing software for visualization.Numerical algorithms.Before the contest,review numerical algorithms for fundamen-tals like interpolation,optimization,linear algebra,and solving differential equations.Be prepared to implement(or reuse)code for common numerical algorithms,see for example [6,14].Environments like Matlab include extensive numerical routines for a variety of problems.Make use of these tools and avoid reinventing the wheel.For example,never roll your own linear algebra code.Smarter people have spent years creating LINPACK and other systems—use them.Debug.Writing code naturally involvesfixing code.Know how to use the debugger tools offered by your programming e strategies like saving multiple versions, modular programming,and descriptive commenting to promote accurate code.(But don’t get too carried away—your primary goal is correct results,not computer science poetry.)File I/O.Especially if your program is unstable and takes a long time to run,you need to be able to use intermediate results.A good time-saving precaution is to save progressive results to the harddrive.For example,a simulation that runs for45minutes could write updates to the harddrive every three minutes.Of course,a computer-savvy team need not restrict themselves to one programming language and instead use several.Ourfirst year,we had one person programming in Matlab,one in Perl,and one in C with side calculations on a TI-86.However,we have found that when there is more than one programmer,sticking to one language promotes code reuse and collaboration.WritingWriting,as we continue to emphasize,deserves as much attention as solving the problem itself. Under the tight4-day contest timeframe,it is vital to start writing as soon as possible,starting alongside initial research.We recommend L A T E X as the best means for producing professional-quality scientific writing, especially as an alternative to Microsoft Word.L A T E X handles equations and mathematical symbols natively,in addition to all of the bibliographical formatting,labels and cross-referencing, and page-numbering that is ridiculously tedious in standard word-processing programs.There are also aesthetic reasons to prefer L A T E pare these compositionally equivalent samples,written in L A T E X and Word: ..............................................................................................L A T E XDefinition 5.21Let X be a linear space.Two norms||·||1and||·||2on X are called equivalent if there are con-stants c>0and C>0such thatc||x||1≤||x||2≤C||x||1,∀x∈X.Microsoft WordDefinition 5.21Let X be a linear space. Two norms ||·||1and ||·||2on X are called equivalent if there are constants c > 0 and C > 0 such that|| ||1|| ||2|| ||1, ∈c x < x < C x x X .__V_.............................................................................................. The most significant typographical difference is the spacing between lines and words.The Word sample is irregular and visually unappealing,especially around inline math,while L A T E X automatically determines line breaks and word hyphenation for aesthetically optimal spacing†.To get started in L A T E X,you will need the T E X typesetting system and a PS or PDF viewer. For Windows platforms,download MikT E X from and GSview and Ghostscript from /∼ghost/gsview/.On Unix/Linux,L A T E X is already included in many distributions or available as a package.Similarly,Windows users with Cygwin() can obtain L A T E X as a Cygwin package.There are thousands of L A T E X tutorials and reference guides online;one good starting point is /cgi-bin/texfaq2html.Work through a L A T E X tutorial and write at least one practice document in L A T E X before the contest.Regardless of whether your team uses L A T E X or not,know how to do the following: Equations.It is unavoidable that any paper will involve numerous math symbols andequations.Word users should make sure their installation includes Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType.Figures.Know how to import images and createfigures.Confer with the team’s pro-grammer on transferring data visualizations intofigures in the paper.Section e L A T E X’s section,subsection,and subsubsection commands or Word’s numbered headings to create consistently styled section e L A T E X’s tableofcontents command or Word’s Table of Contents feature(Insert◮Reference◮Index and Tables)to create an automatic table of contents.A good table of contentsmakes a paper much easier to read,and much more skimmable.Citations.Know how to write citations and bibliography entries,and be prepared witha style guide on the bibliographical formatting for various kinds of sources.Leadership&CooperationWhile your team need not have a designated team leader,working together naturally requires group and leadership skills.“Trust is the foundation of leadership”[11].Trust your teammates’abilities,and respect their opinions.Give each other the freedom to work the details of their task independently.The programmer has the responsibility and authority over the details of program implementation and the head writer has the responsibility and authority over the details of the writing.While critical review of each other’s work is healthy and productive,micromanagement is not.!Keep in frequent touch with what your teammates are doing.If one of them—or you—is not working on a relevant task,refocus the team immediately.Avoid time-costly tasks on extraneous details and efforts that are otherwise unimportant to the paper.Nobody should ever have nothing to do—there is not enough time for that.Conflict happens easily under high pressure and little sleep.Wefind that many of our dis-agreements are actually misunderstandings,and can be quickly resolved by open discussion.Unresolvable disagreements should be dealt with democratically among the three teammates.A poor decision is better than a late decision[11],especially on the tight MCM timescale.Section SummaryBe prepared to visualize data and implement numerical algorithms.Use L A T E X to typeset your paper.Trust your teammates and work cooperatively.4A Strong TimelineThe most demanding factor of the MCM is time.This section describes,based on our experience, a successful schedule for the contest.We propose an intentionally front-heavy timeline,where most of the work is optimistically planned to be done by the halfway point of the contest.The main reason for this is that early work tends to be revised or discarded,mistakes and delays happen,and this timeline provides theflexibility for amendments in the later half of the contest.Furthermore,a lighter schedule in the later half means more time can be devoted to the writing.To state our proposed timeline briefly:On Thursday,all teammates participate in background research,formulating initial models to the problem.By Friday morning,writing te Friday to early Saturday,preliminary results are considered to revise shortcomings of thefirst models.By Saturday evening,the revised models yield more satisfactory results,and implications andfinal conclusions about the problem are drawn.The remainder of the contest is spent writing.SleepingContrary to other guides,we encourage working all-nighters on thefirst and third nights instead of a natural sleeping schedule.Particularly on Thursday,it is much more productive to work through the night without sleep,or to the extent that you can work without sleep.It is not necessary that all teammates are awake at the same time,just that each teammate works and sleeps productively and within their physiological limitations.In any case,don’t stop early at a “natural”point.Sleep deprivation most heavily affects creative thinking.Thought that brings together informa-tion to solve a problem is called convergent thinking.Thought that requires planning,originality, or unusual ideas is called divergent thinking.Divergent thinking is significantly impaired after one night without sleep while convergent thinking is more resilient[8].Thus,during sleepless parts of the contest,you can productively continue tasks like programming,writing,or math-ematical analysis,but brainstorming and reading should better be done when well-rested.As the contest starts with brainstorming,it is important to come into the contest fully rested.Before the ContestWith a mere96hours during the contest,do what you can in advance to prepare logistically. Plan to drop all school and social activities during the MCM,and try to arrange with your instructors to reschedule classwork.On the day of the contest,arrange your team’s working area,computers,food,writing templates,scratch paper,and anything else that can be done ahead of time.By the third year,we had started checking out books that might be useful before the contest.This paid off—we could studyfluid mechanics immediately when the sprinkler problem came up.Also prepare for the MCM mentally.Discuss old MCM problems with your team to learn how to brainstorm together.At least one teammate should prepare code and review the theory of nu-merical analysis fundamentals like interpolation,optimization,and solving differential equations. Ideally all teammates should learn L A T E X.Most importantly,make sure you will be healthy and fully rested for Thursday.Thursday:The Contest StartsThe contest officially starts at6:00pm†.At this time,the contest problems are posted at /undergraduate/contests/mcm and /mcm.MCM teams are given a choice between two problems.Historically,Problem A is continuous while Problem B is discrete.When choosing a problem,play to your strengths,but don’t be afraid of jumping at a problem that you allfind compelling.If the choice is not immediately obvious,conducting an hour or two of background research will illuminate the problem context, likely approaches,and potential difficulties.Thefirst task in considering a problem is to read it carefully and brainstorm possible directions. Creativity and variety are better when teammates do their initial thinking independently[3];we recommend to delay group discussion until everyone has considered the problem on their own. Begin researching immediately,seeking online papers of previous research on your problem.This research will help identity the problem’s implications,and lead you to“the right way”to think about the problem.Work aggressively through the night on research,formulating models,and programming.Friday:FormulationFriday is perhaps the most effective day of all,spent on more research,formulating the models, significant coding,and preliminary writing.It is during this critical time that you will gain the most ground on solving the problem,so stay focused and work hard.Begin writing as soon as possible.Six hours of research and brainstorming have already passed—you should have something to say by now.As a late morning break after a sleepless night,make a group trip to the library for journal articles and specialized resources.Try to obtain some results from the models by Friday evening.Sleep Friday night once you have preliminary results.Saturday:Writing&RevisionSaturday should be spent onfinding results and significant e your preliminary results from Friday to reconsider the models,and spend the day revising your approach and reworking results.Simplifying assumptions should be established by this e the background research to support your assumptions in the paper.Work as a team to complete the bulk of the paper.To an extent,the paper composition will guide your research.What analysis,experiments,or background research could you perform to support your claims?The writer should assign such paper subtasks to the other teammates. Don’t sleep Saturday night until most of the writing is done and all of the coding is complete.Sunday:WritingAny new coding should stop by Sunday morning.Continue working as a team tofill in the paper.By this point,write the Strengths&Weaknesses and Conclusion sections.Once you have written out the weaknesses of your model,do what you can tofix them!Run additional tests—try justify your assumptions and explore different parameters.For the2005highway tollbooth problem,we started running our program with different waiting time distributions on Sunday.For the2006irrigation problem,we considered different“profiles”of the sprinkler.Print a draft of the paper and read it aloud as a group.Edit and repeat.By the evening,all results must be complete and the main paper should be done.If possible,write thefirst draft of your summary.Sleep Sunday night.。

Ensure a plug is in place on air inlet when it is not in use.*Air Turbine Spindles (JS Units) are supplied with a ®threaded plug in the shank. All hoses and connec-tors must be clean and greater than 1/4”/ 6 mm Internal Diameter. Rear or side inlets may be used on 602 or 625 units if all hoses and connectors are clean and greater than 1/4”/ 6mm Internal Diameter.*Through-spindle-coolant Pull Studs (40 Taper, etc) are compatible with Air Turbine Spindles only if port ®is plugged below pull stud (to avoid air leaks from the rear).3.625X and 650 units use higher airfl ow.• Ensure there are no restrictions in the airline toAir Filter/Regulator and to spindle, i.e. avoid fi t-tings, valves, etc. with internal diameters small-er than 3/8” / 9mm. For fl ow requirements visit .• Air restriction will result in under power perfor-mance. Verify air pressure gage (on fi lter, etc.) maintains 90-100 PSI / 6.2 Bar while cutting. Check compressor capacity.4. Program your CNC to perform milling, drilling, etc., without any M03 or M04 commands. Use M05 (on Haas, only, an alarm will be set off by M05 – Delete SO and M5 line in program - prior to software V18.01). Verify via dry run of your program in graphics or with-out Air Turbine spindle in CNC spindle, before running actual program with spindle in place.5.Start with a lighter (axial) depth of cuts , gradu-ally stepping down to the optimum depth of cut or increasing feed rates for your material, application, and spindle hp/ kW rating. Refer to tooling manufac-turer for appropriate tool for your application and ra-dial depth of cut for best performance.6. Use an appropriate size tool rated for the speed of your Air Turbine Spindles ®, and start with a light pass. If using Haas Automation Inc’s control, prior to soft-ware V18.01: Do not use drilling canned cycles in-cluding, G76, G77, G81/G161, G82/G162as CNC Spindle will turn on. (Alternative is to output long-hand G-Code from CAD/CAM.) Check with program supplier if update for increased feed rates is required.7. As a precaution, your Air Turbine Spindles should ®be run for at least 30 minutes every month to main-tain optimum performance.Shut Off Valve(Switch to off position during setup)Avoid Air Restrictions(small connectors + couplings)Set Regulator 90 PSI / 6.2 BarAir tank may be used to maintain air pressureSpindle Quick Setup GuideTMA Auto-Changer Assembly Units1. Install block on side of main spindle for clean air-line air connection using predrilled screw holes for your CNC type (if available). If using Universal Blockdrill holes in block in the screw pattern matching the hole configuration on your CNC. In some cases an additional extension block is used to bridge any height gap between main spindle and air connec-tion block inlet.2.Connect a hose with clean dry 90 psi / 6.2 Bar air to the Block. Use a shut-off valve (make sure its in the off position) or solenoid to control airflow to Block. Please refer to notes and image on both front and back of this document. Installation kits are available from Air Turbine.3.Align TMA Spindle Collar bayonet nozzle position with block inlet before loading spindle (i.e. com-mand M19)Observe machine spindle dogs and ro-tate Air Turbine spindle drive slots to align with drive dogs while nozzle is aligned with TMA block, then release drawbar and load Air Turbine spindle into CNC spindle.4.Screw in nozzle all the way down in block initially and raise up as needed to connect. Adjust height of screw bayonet nozzle on spindle collar to plug in to block without excessive defl ection of nozzle arm.5. Check that nothing obstructs auto loading pro-cess. Please note that on Haas 2010 and newer VF machines with a SMTC, there is a sheet of metal in place on top of enclosure adjacent to Tool change drum. Remove this sheet metal as the TMA nozzle will hit it and get twisted out of position.6. Fanuc RoboDrill / XDT Series: Always command Air Turbine spindle out of CNC machine spindle when turning off the DT machine.Please consult full user notes, and technical informa-tion at .This Quick Guide is not intended to replace user notes, cutting tool manufacturers’ recommendations or CNC manufacturers’ instructions.

How can I install a custom printer driver?Try to install a more specific driver for your printer via CUPS. For this purpose, follow the instructions for set-ting up network printers (see above). Ensure the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and connecting PC are part of the same local network(see “Network settings” of the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 1.0 User Manual).I configured my printer via CUPS, but it does not show up in the printer settings of the QIAstat-Dx application software. What can I do?• E nsure that the printer is powered on and that the USB or network connection is established successfully.• Y our printer can be accessed via a generic printer driver that is pre-installed on the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer. Try to print via this driver (see “Printer settings” in the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 1.0 User Manual).• I f a custom printer driver was already previously configured, power OFF the QIAstat-Dx Operational Module and then power ON again to make the driver available. To power OFF or ON, use the switch at the back of the instrument. The QIAstat-Dx application software detects the available printer drivers upon start up. When adding a new printer, the QIAstat-Dx Operational Module must be restarted before the new driver will be available.The printer settings in Options System Config of the application software do not show any printers. Also, the generic printer is missing. What can I do?Re-install the generic printer driver via the CUPS page. Contact QIAGEN Technical Service to request the generic printer driver if it is unavailable.I configured my printer via CUPS. When I click Print, no report is printed. What can I do?• C onsider that it may take a few minutes to store a PDF report, which must be completed before the printer receives the print job. Avoid pressing the print button several times in a row. This may delay the print process even further.• N ote that, after clicking the print button, the print job may be spooled. To check if a print job is still queued, connect CUPS. On the CUPS page, click Jobs to review the printer queue on the subsequent page.• E nsure that the printer being used is not reporting any error. For example, failed previous print jobs, a paper jam or an empty paper tray can cause an error. Be sure to solve these types of errors before printing.• I n CUPS, ensure that the appropriate media size and paper format as they are displayed or selected on your printer: some printers will not print if the paper format is wrong.• I n CUPS, check the status of your print jobs. This can be performed by navigating to Jobs or clicking the Manage Jobs button. If necessary, cancel existing and unfinished jobs, as they may block the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer from printing.• I n CUPS, try to print a test page. This can be performed by navigating to Manage printers and selecting your printer. From the maintenance drop-down, select print test page.• F or network printers, it is preferred to use direct printing (Port 9100). The connections to this port should be checked to ensure they are not blocked by connecting via the socket:9100 protocol (Direct Printing) and setting the filter to Generic PS or Generic PCL in CUPS when adding a new printer.I tried to configure a specific driver for my printer, but the list of drivers does not include my model. What can I do?Use the most generic driver listed for your printer brand. In the case that none of the listed drivers works, download the CUPS printer driver as a *PPD file from the manufacturer’s website and select PPD File before clicking Add printer.I tried to configure a driver for my printer, but the CUPS page is not accessible. What can I do?• E nsure that the printer is connected via ethernet cable. Also, check switches or other hardware devices in your network infrastructure to ensure they are working properly.• E nsure that the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and connecting PC are part of the same network (e.g., same gateway, subnet mask).• E nsure that your network infrastructure allows communication on port 631. Also, confirm that communication via the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer, connecting PC and network printer are allowed.• E nsure that the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and connecting PC are in the same local network. For security reasons, the accessibility of the CUPS page is limited to local networks. If possible, connect via a direct ethernet connection and assign static IPs from a private IP address range to the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and PC.• E nsure that CUPS is enabled on the QIAstat-Dx Analyzer The current password is used as the password and expires after 24 hours.• C lear the browser cache or try a different browser to avoid login credentials from previous login being used by the PC accessing the CUPS page.CUPS shows that print jobs were canceled, but I did not cancel the print job. What does this mean?If a print job is listed as cancelled and you did not cancel it, an incompatible printer driver might have been used. Try printing via the generic printer driver instead.QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 1.0 Printer Setup Guide 09/2021 11For up-to-date licensing information and product-specific disclaimers, see the respective QIAGEN kit instructions for use or user operator manual.

Quartus on Mac M1: Setup GuideNotes:•This guide uses Parallels 17 as the software for the Windows VM. There may be other software that can do the same thing, and I am not endorsing Parallels 17. If you findother equivalent software it should work just as well.•Parallels offers several different pricing plans, as well as a trial version. I recommend using the trial version to set everything up and make sure it works before spending any money. Once you have everything set up, you can purchase the software and enter the activation code.•The cheapest version of the software should be sufficient for everything in this guide.There is a student version available for $39.99 per year.•This guide is assuming you have a 2020 or later Mac with Apple Silicon, and MacOS Big Sur or Monterey.
