Interesting European market HP-32E Message #1 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 12 June 2011, 12:05 p.m.
I found this interesting German market HP-32E with periods for 1000s delimiters and a comma for the decimal point. The seller is in Belgium and it was manufactured in Singapore. Note that the serial number has an asterisk (*) preceding it. I have seen this previously with a Brazilian made Spice, and a "normal" calc with commas for 1000s separators and a period for the decimal point can be coverted to reverse them by cutting a jumper on the power circuit board inside the calc.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a feature depending on a jumper setting on one of the calculator boards.

Correct.
Procedure was discussed a couple of years ago on this very forum: here.
And quoting Luiz:
"Jumper closed - dot for radix mark
Jumper opened - comma for radix mark"
Luiz, we miss you.

Cheers to all!

Bonsoir Etienne,

Vraimant c|:-) We feature a command called SETEUR (stored in MODE) doing exactly what you have in mind. And if it's only for the radix mark, h-shifted point will do the toggling.

Bonsoir Walter,
Of course I use SETEUR every time I reflash and erase my 34s.
My statement was just a small joke to remind a couple of us we had this discussion with Luiz a couple of years ago.
Btw, congratulations and a warm thank you for the great work you did with the 34s.
Etienne

I think that calc is perfectly "normal" from my point of view... ;-)
Greetings, Massimo
P.S. :-) SPECIAL-NAMES. DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA.

Massimo, we need to introduce a new operation, maybe in in 34s. ;-)
Ciao !

No ROM space available, hopefully! :-)

Sorry for the mistake, Massimo!
The other possibility, Massimus, would remain unnoticed, I guess :-)
Cheers,
Gerson.

You are VERY welcome Bart.
Thanks to your kindness I have again my first scientific calculator and the only non HP in the collection - the Panasonic JE-5001U - that was stolen from me at college in 1976.
Cheers, Wanderley

And thanks to you, I obtained my first LED HP calculator. (I have since obtained a HP-45, these are now the only 2 LED HP's I currently have).
Go back to the main exhibit hall
