Summation register behaviour for Plus42/Free42 question
Hey guys good morning.
I have a question that you might be able to help me with. Let’s say I want to add the planes my adsb receiver has received for the last week and procure the average per day. When I add the first number and press Σ+ in my Plus42 I am getting a message “too few arguments” In order to register that first entry I need to double that first number in register X and Y and then Σ+ is happy. After that first number all other numbers are entered without this behaviour. The results seem correct to me despite this behaviour so it is very likely i am missing something here. Is this a bug or is it normal behaviour? What am I missing here? Thank you very much |

RE: Summation register behaviour for Plus42/Free42 question
This error message is a side effect of entering one-variable statistical data when using the Big Stack (NSTK) mode on Free42/Plus42.
To avoid this follow the instructions for One-variable statistics on page 229 of the HP-42S Owner’s Manual. To enter one-variable statistical data (that is, x-values only), first key in a 0 for the y-value (0 ENTER) and then, for each data point: 1. Key in an x-value. 2. Press the Summation key. |

I think the workaround with the 0 in Y register is a good workaround for now. |

The linear mode should be compatible with the 41, but I forgot that the 41 also has a prefilled 4 level stack.
