HP16C Emulator Description

An emulator of the HP16C Computer HP16C Emulator is a free and fully functional emulator of the Hewlett Packard HP16C Computer Scientist calculator.Speed: HP16C Emulator is much faster than the original hp16c. This is particularly noticeable during program execution, where the emulator can be up to 1000x faster than original (when iterating through a loop of floating point operations). Programs that used to take hours to run will now finish in just a few seconds. During regular calculator operation, all functions should finish executing in a fraction of a second (this is only a few times faster than the original).Display: The original hp16c could only display up to 8 digits at a time in the display window (10 in floating point mode). This emulator always displays the entire register X value in the display window. As a result, window shifting functions (WINDOW, ) are unnecessary and have been implemented as NO-OP commands.Register Stack Display: This emulator allows the user to easily view the register stack of the hp16c. This does not change the functionality of the calculator, it just makes it easier for the user to understand how a function is working by being able to see the changes to all registers at once.Programmed Instruction Display: HP16C Emulator will display all currently entered instructions. The ability to view more than one instruction at a time makes it much easier to enter and edit long programs. Displaying the current instruction and number of instructions is also helpful when stepping through a program and debugging.HP16C Emulator will also automatically load the previous state the calculator was in when it is opened, and save its state when it is closed. This is done by writing a file called default.h16 to the same directory that the hp16c.jar file is stored in, so please make sure you have full read/write access to this directory (do not try to run program from a CD or other read-only device). Unfortunately these extra features are not available in the applet due to the security limitations of unsigned java applets.Export State as a Text File (Application only): The application version of the emulator has the ability to export the state as a text file. This file will show the state of the calculator in an easy to read format, including the register stack, programmed instructions (original display and function name display), and all memory contents. Note that this file cannot be read back in by the emulator (export only, import of text files not supported). Requirements: · Java
