question on 12c programming Message #1 Posted by Don Shepherd on 24 Dec 2008, 11:52 a.m. On my gold 12c, if I include the instruction CLR sigma (to clear the statistics registers), the display is blank until the program ends, instead of displaying RUNNING. On the 12cp 25th anniversary edition, that doesn't happen, it works as normal. Someone told me about this a couple of years ago, and I appreciate that. But why? Was this just a bug in the original 12c that they fixed in the platinum?

Re: question on 12c programming Message #2 Posted by V-PN on 24 Dec 2008, 4:03 p.m., in response to message #1 by Don Shepherd Platinum has different routines. It even computes a different interest rate.

Re: question on 12c programming Message #3 Posted by Egan Ford on 24 Dec 2008, 6:33 p.m., in response to message #2 by V-PN Yes, the 12CP is a 12C simulator, whereas the new 12C is an emulator. BTW, the 12CP is faster and more accurate. This is illustrated a program I posted here: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv016.cgi?read=100275, message #6.
