Hp 35s Surveying Programs

  • HP RPN calculators are one of the most powerful and oft overlooked tools that a surveyor can employ. The HPS 35s is comfortable, compact, readable, and approved for the NCEES tests. The HP 35s is a great calculator for keystroke programming. “Keystroke” is the HP equivalent to Microsoft’s “macro”.
  • What you get: The Easycogo Survey Program for the HP 35s and the Easycogo Survey Equations for the HP 35s include all instructions and information needed to program the HP 35s, simple step-by-step instructions for using the programs and equations, along with 'real-world' type sample maps and problems ideal for program testing, studying, practicing and training.

Tired of evaluating physics equations on a non-RPN calculator,I bought an HP-32SII on August 30, 1991. I read the manualcover-to-cover and wrote several programs. These two were themost useful outside of Physics class:

This program calculates theshortest distance and direction between any two points on theEarth's surface, along a Great Circle route. Airline pilotsand ship captains do this sort of thing all the time.

I bought an HP-33S on March 3, 2006. It's a worthy successorto the HP-32SII, running all the same programs on a two-linedisplay. There are still only 27 variables and 26 code labels,but the memory has been expanded from 384 bytes to 32768.

It's true that the decimal point is hard to see, so I use'RADIX,' mode, i.e. '12.345,6789' instead of '12,345.6789'.

I bought an HP-35s on September 16, 2015 and found two veryannoying unforced errors. The polar<-->rectangular conversionkey is missing, forcing the use of complex numbers instead.

In binary, octal, and hex modes, the HP-35s assumes all inputto be decimal. You have to press a three-key combination toappend 'b', 'o', or 'h' to every non-decimal number you enter!

This program converts dates fromyyyy.mmdd format to linear days, and the inverse, according toGregorian rules. It's very useful for any computation thatdepends on the exact interval between two calendar dates.

This program converts between base-tenand any other base from 2 to 16. It should work on eithercalculator.

All these programs work on the HP-42S, but some operators havedifferent names. 'θ,r→y,x' is '→REC', 'y,x→θ,r' is '→POL', 'RMDR'is 'MOD', and 'INT÷' is 'BASE÷' (you could use '÷' followed by'IP' but this breaks the line numbering).
