When adding your post, please use appropriate tags to keep the forum in an organized structure and helping others in finding their required posts easily and with less time effort.
For instance, while facing any problem with the PhysTherm, you first need to create a post, write a suitable subject and in the optional tags box, specify troubleshooting.
How to post?
-
Create topics and posts related to science, technology, education and give feedback about our tools. Help us stick to the focus of this forum!
-

Where to post feedback, errors, and troubleshooting ?
In all the main categories, the troubleshooting section has been created. This is the section which you can use if you are having any issues or want to give suggestions about the PhysLogger, Physinstruments, and the experiments.
Ensure that you read the following guidelines before posting your queries:
-
Post your problem in the relevant category. In other words, if you are having any trouble with the instrument, go to the specified category from the main page and post your query in the troubleshooting section.
-
Make sure to use the proper headings and bullet points while posting your problem.
-
While discussing your problem, be as descriptive as possible. Preferably, add a screenshot if you are having a software error or attach the picture of the instrument if there is any hardware-related problem for evidence. This way we may examine your problem in the best possible way and respond quickly.
-
Troubleshooting guides in the relevant sections should be the prime concern else, share your problem with us by replying to the post.
For instance, while performing the experiment of latent heat of vaporization nitrogen, if you are confronted with the problem in the PhysWatt, kindly let us know your issue in the troubleshooting topic of the PhysWatt (i.e., PhysInstruments > PhysWatt > Troubleshooting).
Similarly, if you identify certain areas of improvement in the procedure or in the objectives of the experiment, share them with us in the Troubleshooting category of that experiment (.i.e. Experiment > Latent heat of vaporization of liquid nitrogen > Troubleshooting).
Got new ideas?
If you have any new ideas, then the Ideas section is for you. This is the place where you can share them and get feedback from the experts of the PhysLab team.
