Timer with splits Message #1 Posted by Sam Levy on 8 June 2007, 10:11 a.m. I Googled timer with splits and found this from the dark side; http://splits.brokenski.com/ I found the concept of multiple splits useful for timing machine responses, like the timing of elevator operations. It would be useful for any time and motion study. Sam

It would be useful for any time and motion study. The TI-89 program found at the link seems to be a good, practical application. I should note that a similar timing capability was provided within our "bright side" long ago -- namely, the HP-41 Time Module, which was incorporated into the HP-41CX. Of course, the output of a similar skiing application program wouldn't look as nice on an HP-41, with its one-line 14-segment LCD. -- KS Edited: 9 June 2007, 3:14 p.m.

Quote: Of course, the output of a similar skiing application program wouldn't look as nice on an HP-41, with its one-line 14-segment LCD. I think, it won't even look nice on the Ti-89, because at typical skiing temperatures, the display will show just uniform grey ;-) Greetings, Max
