SwissMicros Calculator Forum

It's the same procedure as for the DM42, and there was a whole thread about it: https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2007&start=90 Simply put: ppm is parts-per-million, so measure the time drift in seconds between two moments a million seconds apart ;-) That's your ppm; use it...

? But it is under PUNC, 2nd page.

I think the question was for programs, in which case I understand that the LF character from the alpha menu executes a line feed when the string is viewed through AVIEW. Otherwise presumably the poster would have found LF in the alpha menu as well?

The link you're looking for is now at https://technical.swissmicros.com/dm42/ ... l_fat_disk.

For future reference, you can find the link to the manual through https://www.swissmicros.com/technical or through https://technical.swissmicros.com/.

Directories on the 48 are distinguished in the VAR menu by having a little tab sticking out of the top of the menu label. It's just a little one-pixel-thick line segment, but it is effective. Like a short line segment on one side at the top to imitate a tab? I previously thought about this, but I (...

Yes, they had to do that because within the existing character set, they wouldn't have been able to create matching labels for the Z and T registers. Of course adding small-caps versions of those letters would have been an option as well, but just using the existing uppercase letters instead was un...

How about something simple? Maybe add a "DIR" instruction that collapses all of the global labels between the "DIR" and the next "END" or "DIR" into a submenu? For example: 01 LBL "TVM" 02 DIR "TVMFUNC" 03 LBL "N" 04 LBL "I%...

ʏ (129) 128 and 129 are used for the X: and Y: labels for those two stack registers; the X in those labels is a regular lowercase x. This explains my inkling that the Free42/42S and DM42 register labels look different (beside the default font choice). It seems like DM42 replaced the X register labe...

There are a few more in addition to ▸: ▒ (4 and 30) ↵ (13) ␛ (27) ├ (127) : (128) ʏ (129) 128 and 129 are used for the X: and Y: labels for those two stack registers; the X in those labels is a regular lowercase x. I was about to ask what other symbols also can't be entered through the menus or the...

Short answer, you can't. This is quite simply a symbol that is not accessible directly on the keyboard. Other than using the decoder/encoder , the only way to get it into the alpha register is by adding character with code 6: 6 XTOA 6 XTOA That’s it Thanks for your quick responses! It seems like th...

Sorry, I thought that there was "ascendant compatibility" between HP41C and HP42s instructions = same instructions give same result on both calc (except for precision). The character set and code points for symbols have been revised for the 42S. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOCAL_cha...
