Voyager Excel Programming Aid - damaltor - 03-08-2022 08:12 AM

Hi everybody,
Somewhere in this forum, there are Excel files for the voyager series calculators. You could input the numbers from the programming mode into the leftmost columns, and the table "translated" to the program lines:
42 21 13 -> LBL C
I kind of use those as a backup for my 15c. i really like them.
I have one for the 15c. i think there were similar files for the 16c and 11c too - does anyone know more?
does someone know "all" of the links?

Oh, i have never seen these before. Interesting - Mine are fairly colorful. When i am back at the other computer i will upload the 15c file i have.

I did not know they exist also, but I created mine years ago:

For the 15C:

For the 12C:
https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-10524.html

I did not compare which one is the best, I guess they are quite the same.

Hey those are the ones i meant.
I just thought that one for the 11c and the 16c would be nice, as i use all three of those calcs in my daily routine. i will see if i can make that work.
thank you for the links and the work on the files!!

It is not Excel but maybe the DM10/DM11/DM12/DM15/DM16 programming tool is still useful for you.

You can select the model and enter a program like the following into the Mnemonics text field:

Code:

LBL A

x^2

PI

*

RTN

Press the « Encode button, then the Decode » button and tada, we get in the Code dump field:

Code:

001  LBL A        | 42,21,11

002  x^2          |   43  11

003  PI           |   43  26

004  *            |       20

005  RTN          |   43  32

It's easy to transform that into:

Code:

{ 42 21 11 }

{   43  11 }

{   43  26 }

{       20 }

{   43  32 }

Write that to a circle.15c file and load it into the 15C Simulator by Torsten Manz and save it again to get:

Code:

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# HEWLETT·PACKARD 15C Simulator program

# Created with version 4.3.00

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   000 {             } 

   001 {    42 21 11 } f LBL A

   002 {       43 11 } g x²

   003 {       43 26 } g π

   004 {          20 } ×

   005 {       43 32 } g RTN

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use one of these Voyager Calculators and press the Save memory button a file hp15c.txt is saved into your Download folder.
Rename it to something like circle.txt, search for the ram attribute and replace the "50" entries by the program code like this:

Code:

…

  "ram": [

    "",

    "42.21.11",

    "43.11",

    "43.26",

    "20",

    "43.32",

    "50",

    "50",

    "50",

…

Now you can use the Load memory button to load the program into the emulator.
It works similar for the other Voyager models.

Kind regards
Thomas

Interesting. I like the excel files as kind of a backup though by just saving them to my pc. Also, the physical voyagers will not load anything from anywhere Smile

I like your tool though, nice for debugging.
