Re: Converting Great Circle Navigation from 41C to 42S Message #8 Posted by Bill Triplett on 11 Nov 2013, 10:31 p.m., in response to message #7 by Kimberly Thompson
I can't imagine how you were able to find these, but thanks.
The formula for distance on page 91 of the 41C manual produces exactly the same numeric result for distance as the GC program from the 41 Nav Pac.
I also discovered a laser program in one of the references that I needed for a different project, random convergence.
Programming the 42S, I would like the output display to show two numbers simultaneously, each with units. In the Odysseus example on page 91/92 of the manual, the output display would be as follows:
17.2 deg
1,315.4 nmi
Presently, I can make one value appear with a unit label on the top line, but with an extraneous number dodging about on the bottom line. Then, after a pause and resume I can display the second output value on the top line, but with a different extraneous number sitting on the bottom line.
The only 42S example I found for creating a two line output seems to work only for purely alpha text messages using a line feed character.
