"Wait..." on WP 34S - brettpim - 09-01-2020 04:12 PM
I have a WP 34S made from a HP 30b with an IR/USB board. When I use it, most of the time I am getting the "Wait..." message for a non-trivial amount of time for simple operations: putting number on stack, +, - , x, / RCL, swap, etc. My battery voltage was 2.8 which is a bit low so I thought that might be the issue so I connected it to my computer with a USB cable which keeps voltage steady at 3, but I still have the issue. Could I have the calculator in some obscure mode that is causing this?
thanks

Maybe it's in a trace printing mode? Try: CF T ( [g] [▾] [×] ).

That seems to have fixed it, thanks
But if Flag T is set by default (p. 175 of Manual_wp_34s_3_1) why did I not see the same problem for first 6 months of calculator's life?

It's cleared by default:
Code:
| HP-42S | WP 34S | Remarks |
+--------+--------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| MAN | CF T | This print mode is startup default on your WP 34S. |RE: "Wait..." on WP 34S - brettpim - 09-02-2020 04:21 PM
Ok, I misinterpreted that line, thanks.
