Anybody want to try to help a chemist out?

If you know this kind of code or understand this info in the link tell me anything you can about it, the connection type is "rs-232c" port connection; GC-2010; AOC-20i; windows XP

Manual's section on external control: http://ift.tt/2ig3v4q

Hello! so we have a Gas chromatograph, its basically a tool that separates out samples so that we can identify whats in them. being that its a $20,000 piece of equipment of course its annoyingly hard to operate. there are settings on the thing that we call "f settings" (short for function settings) which are accesible in a reasonable way only if you use an old school "chromatopac" which is basically a DOS operated PC. because were running it using a workstation with windows XP the f settings have to be changed by hand, meaning we push a button 84 times to get to setting f84 push enter then it displays a number which we check against our known working values for that setting and push enter again and then repeat that 264 times until we have verified that all f settings are correct. its a horrible truly aweful. so please help me to figure out how i can go about getting started on writing a script to display all these settings. I cant even tell what language its telling me to script in, if you read through all this thank you!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
