Looking for survey program for HP-15C - scoobieshouse - 12-11-2021 08:03 PM
Hi all and greetings from Canada.
I'm on the hunt for a simple survey program for HP15C.
I used to work in the surveying field several years ago and we used a 15C or 11C for calculations
and traverse/inverse/areas for simple lot closures.
I remember that the program was just over 100 program steps.
also, I remember that to start the program I would do the following
to set N and E to 0 .
( 0, ENT, 0, FCN, A ) which would set the N and E to zero.
to run traverse, you would do the following for each leg of your traverse.
enter bearing, R/S, enter quadrant , R/S, enter distance, R/S, N is displayed, R/S, E is displayed.
Once you do your closed traverse, RCL, 3 would give your area in S.F.
to inverse from original point: ( bearing )
RCL , 5, enter, RCL 4, divide, inv, tan, fcn, hms
to inverse from original point: ( distance )
RCL 4, sq, ENT, RCL 5, sq, +, sq rt
any help in finding this program again would be greatly appreciated.
Ron

The traverse/inverse/areas programs you want sound easy to write. There's plenty of help available on this website to get you started!
