HP Connectivity kit question
I didn't want to hijack anyone's thread and I can't seem to find the answer to this. I have the HP connectivity kit loaded on my Mac and am able to connect my Prime to it and copy and paste programs in and they do indeed transfer to the Prime.
With the connectivity kit, can I start a emulator or a simulated Prime on the screen on the computer to run the programs I just entered or do I need to constantly have them transferred onto my Prime Calculator and run them there? I would think that since you can edit programs on the Connectivity kit you should be able to test them right there on the computer. I am just not sure how to do this. |

Connect calculator and open emulator. There will be two calculators in Connectivity kit, virtual and physical. You can transfer data between a virtual calculator and a physical calculator in Connectivity kit. Just copy and paste. Or drag.

Your wording is slightly ambiguous so, just to be really clear: you can't start the emulator 'with' (i.e. using) the connectivity kit because they are separate programs. But you can start the emulator 'with' (i.e. alongside) the Connectivity Kit. Just launch the HP Prime emulator and it will show up in the Connectivity Kit in the same way that your physical Prime shows up and you can send programs to it etc. (If it doesn't show up then make sure that 'Enable network' is checked in Preferences-> IP Networking) |

RE: HP Connectivity kit question
Small hints- I gave different names to the physical and virtual calculators. When both are connected it makes it easier to keep track of them.
The connectivity kit has features for a classroom environment which includes a content pane. Items in this pane can be copied to/from from connected calculators but remain on the computer. I use the content pane as a short term backup when developing programs. Good luck. |

Did you have to call the other machine, "Pessimus?"

RE: HP Connectivity kit question
I did get that reference to which you were referring ... but, in similar fashion, did you get the equally silly, ying/yang, of the device names?
Optimus for the physical device Pessimus for the virtual device Where one might inspire optimism, the other pessimism. Oh well, what's in a name, anyway.... |

RE: HP Connectivity kit question
Actually, my naming method only had 1 criteria.
The machine names had to look much different so that bleary and tired eyes could see that difference. |
