(32S) Determination of Dry Matter in small silage samples

[Thomas Klemm]

I really appreciate your posts of the use of HP calculators in published papers.
In this case however I noticed a few issues:

• useless use of ENTER
• division of the constant 0.00555 by 10
• useless use of register B
• use of constant 10 instead of register M
  

While the first three points are just a bit of annoyance, the last one on line 017 is really a bug.
You might enter a value different from 10 for \(m\) in register M and it will not be taken into consideration.

Here's a corrected and slightly optimised version of that program:

Code:

LBL W
1
RCL T
5.55E-4
×
-
RCL V
×
998
×
RCL M
÷
1E3
x<>y
-
RTN

Example

10 STO M
7.5 STO V
10 STO T
XEQ W

255.6542
