Re: HP BASIC for HP86B Message #3 Posted by Bill Lafferty on 11 May 2009, 6:46 p.m., in response to message #2 by Marcus von Cube, Germany
Marcus, the HP41-CV/CX sits in a unit called a DIF41. This is connected to the electronic theodolite, and also to the computer by an RS232 interface. The electronic theodolite takes the readings, they are stored via the DIF41 in the HP41-CV/CX for later transfer in the office to the computer. It also works in reverse - data in the form of co-ordinates can be typed into the HP86B in the office, and transferred into the HP41-CV/CX in its DIF41 holder via the serial link.
I have the programs to go into the HP41-CV/CX to transfer the data, they was in the handbook for the DIF41 as well as the Basic program for the IBM-PC. I also have the serial interface module plugged into the back of the HP86B, and a unit called a DL40 Data Link which plugs in between the DIF41 and the serial interface module.
I can add a typed up version of the HP41 programs to the web site if anyone is interested. (Incidentally, the website is my wife's site for her lacemaking friends).
