[50g] writing prgrms pc then send to 50g
2007-02-17 by Gordon Ayres
I am a new user on the 50g. Old user other models before the 49+ series of calculators. Using the link kit the instructions seem terse and I am entering a trial and error mode of experimentation to make things work. Old hp 41 and hp71 series had seamless ways of saving programs to tape once written but do not have the ability to write on pc and transfer to calculator. However, the manuals and capabilities where clearly given through examples of everything you needed to archive and restore from tape. I know that this calculator has the capability to make transfers form pc text to the calculator and I will eventually get there. Here is a company that seems to have this under control and sales a CD that will install its programs on the calculator from the CD using the link kit. So I know that the capability must be within my grasp. http://www.southforktech.com/sfttools.htm Is there a good explanation of how to write programs on your PC and how to transfer them efficiently to the calculator? I have transferred a text file to the stack on the calculator then edited it on the calculator replacing the double left and right programming enunciators with HP enunciators but this is a tedious process and seems I might as well write the programs on the calculator in the first place. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Best regards Gordon Ayres
