WP 34s alpha mode
Hi,
I'm a beginner to programming on HP calculators and had some confusion when I was trying to key in this program: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/...?read=1102 How are you supposed to key in this part: "012 [alpha]IP X 013 [alpha] , 014 [alpha]IP Y 015 [alpha] )" I can't seem to key in this when it is alpha mode. |

RE: WP 34s alpha mode
These commands are in the X.FCN menu.

RE: WP 34s alpha mode
An alternative to manually typing in a program with calculator keystrokes is to compile it with the library tools in the wp34s/trunk/tools directory. The 'MIO' program wouldn't be my first choice as an example, since it is already included in the standard flash library, but since you
brought it up I used it as an example of how to compile a .wp34s library source file into a custom RAM image which can be loaded into the emulator or calculator. In this particular example the original listing shown in your link above would not compile because of a couple of typos, but this one does: Code:
The original listing had "M.ALL" (line 004) instead of "M-ALL" and "x[<>]y" (line 029) instead of "x[<>] Y" so it wouldn't compile. This version has been corrected to work with the perl library compiler tool. Using the perl programs in the wp34s/trunk/tools directory you can compile the source file above saved as wp34s/trunk/tools/mio.wp34s with the following steps: Create an empty wp34s.dat file by running the emulator and executing P.FCN END then P.FCN CLALL R/S Exit the emulator, and save the emulator's freshly emptied wp34s.dat to the wp34s/trunk./tools directory Make sure that the wp34s/trunk/tools directory is listed in your executable PATH environment variable, and from that directory type: wp34s_lib.pl mio.wp34s -ilib wp34s.dat -f -state Then put the compiler updated wp34s.dat file back into the directory where your emulator expects to find it. Start the emulator and you will find the newly compiled 'MIO' program in the program area of RAM. If you want to copy this compiled program into a physical calculator then establish a serial link between your calculator and emulator, and execute P.FCN SENDP on the emulator, and P.FCN RECV on the calculator. I ran the compiler tool as described above and generated a wp34s.dat file. The attached wp34s-mio.zip file contains the above mio.wp34s source, and the compiled wp34s.dat RAM image. You can copy the unzipped wp34s.dat file to your emulator's directory then run the emulator, and the 'MIO' program will appear in the program area of RAM. The 'MIO' program is also a standard library function in the emulator (included in wp34s-lib.dat file) and can be accessed by the CAT button scrolling through until 'MIO' appears in the display then pressing XEQ. Also if you flash your calculator with any of the "xxxx-full.bin" images then the 'MIO' program will be available in the flash area of the physical calculator as well. I hope this was helpful, Barry |

RE: WP 34s alpha mode
Barry;
Pauli's answer was straight to the point. Yours was above and beyond, answering the next couple of questions before they were encountered. I'm coming to you two next time I hit the wall. |

I agree... thanks Barry! ... and by the way, example typos are one of my pet peeves ( I hate doing it myself, and I really hate it when other people do it ), so when we share we need to pay attention to details and get it right; cause who knows who is up late at night wondering why the 'example' won't compile. thanks again, Barry. marcus Kind regards, marcus |

RE: WP 34s alpha mode
I think these typos are, at least partly, because we changed the command names along the journey.
We had M.ALL at one point and it changed to M-ALL for reasons I no longer remember. We also had x[<>]y as well, although I'm not sure if its lifetime overlapped M.ALL or not -- this one disappeared fairly early in favour of x[<>] Y. - Pauli |

RE: WP 34s alpha mode
Thanks for this very nice description and explanation. I might put it in a further edition of the manual if you consent.

I didn't choose the best example, as the "MIO" program is already included in the expanded flash area, but if that doesn't bother you then use it as it is, or choose a different program to compile. I leave that up to you. |
