This is the first version of HPIBM. I know it is not perfect; but it is
usable. Better versions will follow soon.
HPIBM will enable you to run the HP48SX on a IBM PC. You type in the
commands on the PC keyboard and the resultes will be displayed on the
PC screen.
Before running this program, setup the HP48SX communication parameters
first. It should be in "wire" mode and the translation code should be
set to 3. The communication cable should also be properly connected
between the PC and the HP48SX.
This program will run on IBM and compatibles only. To run this program,
type HPIBM at the dos prompt, then
(1) Press F1 to setup the line setting.
After you press F1, the setup window will come up. Use the cursors
to highlight the desirable settings. Press RETURN to finish setup.
(The defult setting is : BUAD=9600,DATA=8,STOP=1,PARITY=NONE.
If this is the setting you wanted, you can skip this step.)
(2) Press <blue-shift> I/O on the HP48SX to put it into kermit server mode.
(3) Press F2 to connect the PC with HP48SX
In this mode, type in the commands and press RETURN, and watch it
run!
(4) Press F10 to quit
How to enter symbols:
To enter a symbol, hold down the <Alt> key and press the three digits
represents that symbol. For example, to enter the Summation sign,
hold down <Alt> key and press 133 on the number pad. A complete list
is on the Page 295-286 of the HP48SX Owner's Manual Vulume 2.
Limitation : The input line can't be longer than 96 characters.
