Info for LTC

1.  A list of lecturers/users

• particularly the regular users
• their support needs

Users from previous years will be added. This info is from a spreadsheet which also has their email address (will post this to you later).

I had thought no more users to be added to this table (i.e. from this year) but I've just found the MSc-IT class test and something titled medicine which need included here.

1.1  This years users back to 11/06

Totalling the student numbers and the use numbers might not make sense as they may not be the same students (but were not distinguished in my notes by anything other than the lecturer name). If i hadnt remembered that Dougal Campbell did a 2nd AND a 3rd year class this would not be noted in the table. The Dougal Campbell use should really be entered twice: once for 2nd year and once for 3rd year. This probably also applies to Andrew Rankin, Steve Brindley, Quintin Cutts and Steve Draper.

For the non-lecture uses, the student numbers are meaningless where the events are repeated since those events NEVER contain the same people. The total of Stud Uses (which is Students times Uses) is probably more meaningful. . . . . maybe.

5.  an inventory of the equipment

We had 650 handsets, numbered 1 to 650 (known as "the old handsets") and then bought another 200 (known as "the new handsets" even though they are technically the same) which were supposed to be number 651 to 850 but turned up with 1 to 200 on them. We got the stickers for numbering them correctly but have not stuck them on. Instead these two sets have been kept mostly separated. The 200 were divided into 4 batches of 50. Three of these batches are attached by velcro to large canvas folding containers (known to us as "hangy things"). The other 50 are in 5 boxes of ten each.

5.1  Summary table

add non returns for cs1p - space provided

Ill also put up here the spreadsheet i was using to maintain/produce this table and the by location list below, once i figure out how to increase the file size limit beyond 50k

The "should have" numbers for power packs, connectors, serials, and receivers is calculated on the assumption that we originally bought 3 primary packs and 12 secondary packs and then Quintin subsequently bought 12 primary packs.
A primary should contain: a receiver, a serial, a connector (short), a power pack (500mA)
A secondary should contain: a receiver and a connector (long)
A large clunky power supply was purchased followed by two (phyically) smaller power packs
Under power packs lost, the 3 were binned (I think)
Keyspans, i think, were bought as follows:
one to try it out
then two more (thats the bit i cant remember 1 or 2)
then three.

Oh and there is also the ID changer hardware which has a serial connection (different from the one for receivers), a power pack and a small connector cable

Oh and the qwizdom and rf kit (joe has some of it)
