Release notification: C43 version 108_08
here at the normal place: look for the yellow links which are new.
- Above, a rather official looking Allschwil pointer, thanks to RJvM, reminding of Allschwil and
- on the linked web download page, the Allschwil C43 presentation and flyer.
- On the same page above, we have the usual zip file containing the Windows Simulator and the qspi PGM for DM42.
- Also linked on the page, a printable copy of the graphics programming example listed here a few weeks ago and a new solver and equation application example.
In this release we overhauled the load/save functions and the STOCFG and RCLCFG functions.
We fixed the outdated readme file relating to linking the C43 to your Windows calculator button (and tested it again).
We streamlined the SI UNIT prefix page and cyclic display mode button FSE which can be found on HOME.Dn (see example below).
We streamlined the angular "modes" with the overhauling of all these angular settings, with the handy cyclic DRC button.
There were quite a number of other changes and improvements included, but that for another day.
Example of the FSE button in the SI UNIT Prefix menu:
After switch on, type in
g[CNST] c F1 to get light speed in m/s. Get the UNIT menu by pressing
g[HOME] Dn. Press
f[FSE] and the resulting value in X will be 299.8 M. Say you want to know how fast transmission time would be over 250 km, use the prefixes as follows:
250 [F5] and get the time,
[X<>Y] []. The answer of 833.9 μs in the picture below is automatically displayed in SI prefixes while we also used the prefix multipliers as was needed.
The new FSE button changed the display mode to UNIT. Should you press it again, it will change to every other display mode in sequence Fix Sci Eng .... This concept was already coded and at Allschwil, Charles McCord (Ex HP) had some mockups of
what if calculators which HP considered and FSE was one of those imaginary keys. So we changed the name of our new button since HP at least thought of that as well. The normal FIX, SCI ... buttons in the main DISP page are not changed as there is enough space in the menu system. But in the UNIT menu, this concept allowed space saving so that two buttons do all six display modes and the decimal settings.

This is the structure of the FSE cyclic button. The Allschwil presentation has diagrams of this and the other cyclic buttons too on p43/44.
Furthermore, at Allschwil a participant requested additional binary options to the already full HP16C-like BASE menu. These were implemented in this release. Look out for the BASE menu: BCD representation was requested and added. I will put an application note together on the BCD display, but as this is brand new code and concept, these may still change after we get some feedback. I tried to include a screen shot but three images are the limit here, so let me rather prepare a BCD note showing BCD, 9's complement and 10's complement representations.
Good luck, and please report any issues.
