Group Size program for HP-41CX

[ID_girl]

Hi all,

This is my first contribution to the group.

After recently rediscovering my HP-41CX I found myself playing with it. Then I discovered all of the cool new emulators and barcode generators which has made programming so much easier.

The program I'm posting is one that computes several parameters that describe the accuracy and precision of shot placement on a target. I call it Group Size and the main label is GRP. I've attached my documentation for it along with a list of the commands, and the barcode. (I couldn't figure out how to attache the .raw file though.) I used the Virtual HP-41 emulator and BarcodeReader Beta 0.6 by Martin Hepperle.

I'm guessing that the code could benefit from some 'tightening up' so if you see any obvious improvements, please let me know but be kind with any criticisms! It has been a LONG time since I've done any substantial coding. :-)

FYI: I programmed it to work with the IR transmitter module for the IR printer installed and for when the IR module is removed. With the IR module installed, it will run with no halting of the output with the data going to both the screen and printer. With no IR module installed, the output is halted after each output so that the data can be recorded. Flags 21 and 55 are used to enable these functionalities.

Best,

Christine

P.S. As my handle implies I live in Idaho where target shooting, especially in preparation for hunting season, is not an uncommon activity here.
