HP-48GX and Angles
Barry
I'm a student learning to be a machinist and I need a new calculator.
When working with blueprints, angle are given Degrees, Minutes and Seconds.
My current HP 32S II only works with decimal degrees. Will the HP48GX work
in D.M.S.?
Or any other RPN calculator that will?
Thank alot

The HP48 has commands to calculate both to and from DMS to decimal. Using the
HP48 makes this easy, as you can program these conversions to take place
automatically if you like.

This is not exactly: it only works with decimal BUT you can give data in
sexagesimal, "translate" them to decimal, make the operations and finally,
"translate" to sexagesimal for reading the answer.
If I want add 3º 15' 34 '' plus 2º 20' 14'' in my 15c I do:
3.1534 ->H 2.2014 ->H + getting the decimal answer: 5.5967 Then ->H.MS for
the sexagesimal answer: 5.3548, which means 5º 35' 48''
Look for something like this in your 32.
The 48 will let you add directly in sexagesimal if you wish.

You can assign these to the [ + ] and [ - ] keys
so that in user mode they do the HMS calculation
How to program HMS* and HMS/ and what do they mean?
That I leave to you

Hi Barry!
Of course the HP48GX will work with D.M.S.
You can supply the functions that need an angle argument such an angle
in D.M.S format. But you can always convert between decimal degrees
and D.M.S. with the functions ->HMS and HMS-> .

The HP48 does conversions but it is hidden in TIME utilities, function
HMS-> and ->HMS.
I don't know the 32, maybe there is this functionality

The following DMS program (version 1) puts the HP49 or HP49 into a
virtual "Degrees Minutes Seconds Display Mode" whereby ALL
calculations (of ANY kind, not just arithmetic) are performed
directly in DMS notation:
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/utils/misc/dms.zip
There is also a "new, improved" version 2 of DMS which has these
new features:
(1) Angles can be > 360°.
(2) Negative angles are allowed.
(3) New menu key: [±180] computes equivalent angle between -180°
and +180°.
(4) New menu key: [<360] computes equivalent angle between 0°
and 360°.
(5) MIN and SEC keys have been renamed to +MIN and +SEC for
clarity.
It's available here:

Enjoy!

Are you sure?

Yes, a really nice game,
but my favourite is Dungeon Keeper 1;-)
