Program transfer from PC to DM41X

[CheshireChris]

I'm considering buying a DM41X. One thing I was wondering, which perusing the manual hasn't answered, is whether it allows the possibility of typing in a program in a text editor on a PC and then importing it to the calculator?

Thanks.

Almost, but not quite.

The DM41X, like all 41 emulators, can import program files in what is known as "raw" format, which is the internal memory format needed to operate. To import a typed in text file, it must first be converted to .raw format and once that's done, you can connect to the 41X via USB and copy the .raw files to the /PROGRAM folder, then you import them using the [shift] [Setup] [File] menu commands to import them into 41 memory.

There are several utilities for doing this .txt <-> .raw format conversion, but the most commonly used is Leo Duran's HP41UC utility, available here:

Thanks, Bob. That looks like just the thing I was looking for. I think I'm definitely going to order one. I appreciate your help.

I myself created an interface between different calculators and emulators (HP-41CV/CX via Barcode, DM41X, DM41L, PX41CX, go41X, Vb41CX, V41...)
And if you do not want to use my programs you will find on my site a page (Tools/41Family) which lists the main other tools without forgetting the "DM41 programming tool" from SwissMicros:

What is the software in the centre of the picture, Pierre?

Just my interface program written in Excel.
I called it PX41CX because I wrote it for this calculator that I was testing as a prototype. (now its creator has started to commercialize it).
I also have an HP-41CV, a DM41L, a DM41X and emulators on PC and Android... so I exchange my programs which I print on paper (plus the barcode) and which I put in a binder.. .
The easiest way is to go to my "clones" site to understand...
I also wrote other interfaces (10C, 11C, 15C, 32LC, 42LC, DM32)
My site is in French and also in English.
I answer questions without worries.
