RE: DMS conversion in geometry numeric view
My mistake Tim and apologies. I referred to you as Joe. Thanks and see below for a cheap patch. Your response is understood. HMS has always been a display conversion rather than a working unit since day one( 1973?). I own too many HP RPN units too list here and I fully understand that part so I'll try to rephrase the question. In a CAS how do I input/convert and convert back/output to hexigesimal format. I have worked up a lengthy expression (basically FP/60 twice) that works but outputs the IP(degrees), FP( MINUTES), FP/FP (seconds) all as interger values. I'll post the expression if you are interested.
Back to the problem: How do we convert from decimal values to hexigesimal and back in a CAS? The RPN way is to hit a button, rpl is a HMS conversion command, the 35s is a button however I have written an equation for polar to rectangular that is a bit more practical than the decimal only display format. It almost seems like HP has ignored that many professionals actually work in hexigesimal. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
