What I'd like for Xmas from those nice PPL at HP - StephenG1CMZ - 12-15-2015 10:21 PM (Perhaps some of these are already possible in the PPL, but I just havent seen them yet) GENERAL SYNTAX: To be allowed a list of variables to be returned in an assignment. IF my_gps returns {DATA_VALID,Latitude,Long} Instead of LOC:=my_gps...IF LOC(1) use(LOC(2)) I want a list of results variables before the assignment := : {DVALID,LOCATION}:=my_gps() ... IF DVALID THEN use(LOCATION);... is much clearer than LOC:= ... IF LOC(1) then use LOC(2)... SPECIFIC COMMANDS: CHOOSE: (See my thread) Given an empty list return 0. Given a long list filter selection: display only results containing on-Screen text. DRAWMENU save and restore. Recognition of buttons... IFBUT ==BUT("Edit") IFBUT ==BUT(1) rather than IF_mouse_pixels== INPUT: When selecting checkboxes, allowing 2 columns can be useful - but sometimes 1 column with a longer text is better. The columns may be easier to read if they ran downwards: a D b E c F Not A b C d E f So −more_optional_parameters useful. the_syntax_for_multiple_selections in input or choose _could_be_easier (see_my_thread) 300+ rather than only 142 checkboxes would be nice. NOTES An append option would be useful for errorlogs: NOTES("LOG",APPEND):="DIVBY0" Or Printfile? ROUND: Allow user to request rounding to 31 places without aborting a program. Improves robustness and portability. (At present my ZIPP program keels over if 13 digits of rounding are specified). XTICK YTICK Let us have more ticks - at least two - Miles and km are obvious examples, but also cm and mm would be nice if cm were a different colour/style. Either displayed along the axes or the screen edges ( for when the axis is offscreen or to help seperate the units).

Still if one turns up under the tree . . . RE: What I'd like for Xmas from those nice PPL at HP - luisphysics - 12-17-2015 12:42 AM What does that do? RE: What I'd like for Xmas from those nice PPL at HP - TASP - 12-17-2015 01:30 AM It's Corvallis Microtechnology's take on an HP3468. Only without the HPIL. And WAY smaller, and WAY cooler. Damn my covetous nature. RE: What I'd like for Xmas from those nice PPL at HP - Graan - 12-17-2015 08:22 AM A CMT-300 or equal connecting to the Prime to the USB port. Really want a measuring system connecting to Prime.. Will it happen?

What Im looking for is some kind of open communication interface to the Prime for measurements. Electronics has developed a lot and with todays intelligent cirquits it should be simple to design a interface if possible. But Prime seems to be a quite closed system. I dont think the purpose of the Prime is to be able to do this. |
