Doing some speed tests I decided to remove USB power when running the test and I discovered that the clock speed doesn't change.
If you do this and don't reconnect USB power the battery will drain very fast.
Under normal circumstances you don't do this but I think a warning in the manual not to remove USB when a program is running would be a good idea. I assume the same applies for the DM42.

Hmmmm......
Bad News: You have a pathological mindset when it comes to testing.
Good News: You report your findings here clearly.
Thanks for this report, we'll look into it. I assume it can be detected and corrected, the design was just a bit less pathological than the testing.
Good find, thanks again!

Re: Speed change (USB vs battery) on running program
No! I did the test with a drawing program and obviously the speed changes when switching the power on or off during the treatment.
So no problem with DM42. Phew!

Re: Speed change (USB vs battery) on running program
Interesting, so the switchover mechanism for the clock is different, I expected it to be the same because its not part of the HP41 and HP42 emulator (or maybe it is after all).PierreMengisen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 11:25 amNo!

Re: Speed change (USB vs battery) on running program
The switching mechanism is the same. It's just that some parts of DMCP are inactive while the DM41X is inside the emulation loop (as is the case when executing a program). The situation is completely different for the DM42 because there is no emulation loop. There is no emulation even. Free42 is a simulator, not an emulator.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

However the USB icon turns into the battery when you unplug the cable...grsbanks wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 8:16 pmThe switching mechanism is the same.
