ZIPP: G1CMZ's Immensely Practical Package

[StephenG1CMZ]

A collection of programs intended to be immediately practical -

The intention is
1 Results should be quick...
A thunderstorm calculation might ask for an estimate of air temperature: the user knows if its cold or warm. It won't ask for air density or composition. And don't expect meaningful results if you say the air temperature is absolute zero.
2 Results should be easily assimilated...
Expect results to be presented in km, not mm.
Though you can ask for more if you need it.
3 If you need software that can handle such extremes, ask about my technical version. Thunderstorm times for the arctic, or for Mars, anyone? I may need to tweak a few formula...

4 I've seen plenty of thunderstorm distance calculators, but this one helps you do the timing too. No, it doesn't need a datastream.

It does unit conversion too.

[StephenG1CMZ]

Version 0.4:
All functions improved, new functionality added and translations improved.
You will need to create an empty procedure (or comment out the call). - this procedure will be uploaded as a separate program in the next few days.
(Update: Z LIGHTS is now available, so you can install this instead of creating an empty procedure)

Dzien dobry Panu,

Super, naprawde fajnie ! To swietnie.
Bardzo dzienkuje.

Do zobaczenia !

Gérard.

Glad you like it Gerard.
If anyone would like to see a different approach to unit conversion, have a look at epp's CNV procedure.

Here is ZIPP Version 0.5. Now with data unit conversions and improvements to language setup.

Dear friend,

I downloaded your app, but i cannot or maybe I dont know hot to install it. Sorry because I´m very new in this, but really before writting you I´ve tried a lot of things to do it but still haven´t found the way.

I´ll appreciate any help you can provide me.

I got a HP Prime.

Thanks in advance...

Welcome.

The ZIPP program requires 2 external programs.
If you are getting a compilation error at Z_LIGHTS or Z_UNITS, this means that you must first install those programs - alternatively, insert // at the start of those lines to comment out those programs.

A compilation error anywhere else probably indicates a difficulty with the Unicode space character in cutting and pasting the source code. Try deleting a line and retyping it.

Note: These are programs. They do not need installing as apps.

If that does not help, could you give some indication of the error you are having.
If that solved it, please let me know.

[StephenG1CMZ]

http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-12369.html
KeithB suggested that I mention that this program includes a timer that can be used as a simple stopwatch, to help anyone searching for "stopwatch"...
Though if you want a dedicated stopwatch, there is much scope for improvement.

[StephenG1CMZ]

My short interval timer here currently relies upon TICKS.
In http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-12369.html Cyrille suggests that ticks can be less accurate than using time/date functions, so I might implement another timer later.

[StephenG1CMZ]

The thunderstorm distance calculations and interval timer are now implemented in Python. It also includes inverse functions.

(I'm not sure how much precision is reasonable - I'm probably showing too many digits)
