CALCULATOR | CALCULATOR PRINTER TECHNICAL DATA 1 OCTOBER 69 9100B CALCULATOR DESCRIPTION The HP 9100A and 9100B are programmable, electronic calculators which perform operations com- monly encountered in scientific and engineering problems. Their log, trig and mathematical functions are each performed with a single key stroke, provid- ing fast, convenient solutions to intricate equations. Computer-like memory enables the calculator to store instructions and constants for repetitive or iterative solutions. The easily-readable cathode ray tube in- stantly displays entries, answers and intermediate results. OPERATIONS Direct keyboard operations include: Arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, di- vision and square-root. Logarithmic: log x, In x and eX. Trigonometric: sin x, cos x, tan x, sin~!x, cos~!x and tan-!x. (xin degrees or radians) Hyperbolic: sinh x, cosh x, tanh x, sinh~1x, cosh~x, and tanh71x. Coordinate transformation: polar-to-rectangular, rec- tangular-to-polar, cumulative addition and sub- traction of vectors. Miscellaneous: other single-key operations include— taking the absolute value of a number, extract- ing the integer part of a number, and entering the value of m7 . Keys are also available for positioning and storage operations. BAD( ——ss % SPEED Times for total performance of functions, in- cluding worst-case decimal-point placement an carrying: Vo Add, subtract: 2 milliseconds Multiply, divide: 35 milliseconds Square-root: 40 milliseconds Sin, cos, tan: 354 milliseconds Coordinate transformation: 332 milliseconds In x: 56 milliseconds eX: 141 milliseconds NUMERICAL FORMAT The operator can select either FIXED point (eg. 1234.567890) or FLOATING point (scientific nota- tion; eg. 1.234567890 x 103) for display of entries and answers. The calculator’s dynamic range is 10-% to 1099 with up to 10 significant digits. In FIXED point mode, the operator selects the number of decimal places desired between 0-9 on the decimal wheel. Whenever more digits are placed left of the decimal point than the decimal wheel will al- low, the ‘calculator automatically reverts to FLOAT- ING point notation to allow completion of the calcula- tion, with no loss of information.

The program mode allows entry of program instructions, via the keyboard, into program memory. Programming con- sists of pressing keys in the proper sequence. Any key on the keyboard is available as a program step. The program capacity of the 9100A is 196 steps and the capacity of the 9100B is 392 steps. No language or code conversions are required. The self-contained magnetic cardreader /re- corder can record programs from program memory onto wallet-size magnetic cards. The reader_/re- corder can also read the magnetic cards back into program memory for repetitive use. Two programs of 196 steps each may be recorded on each reusable card. Cards may be cascaded for longer programs. PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS Conditional Branching: ‘IF’ statements make the com- parisons — less-than, equal-to, greater-than — and can be programmed to branch to any of the program addresses. Unconditional Branching: GO TO statement can be programmed to branch to any of the program addresses. (Also used for manual addressing and correction of individual program steps.) Subroutine: A true subroutine capability permitting instant access to subroutines from any point in a program. By using SUB_//RETURN instruc- tion, subroutines may be nested up to 5 deep. (9100B only) Flag: Provides conditional branching dependent on manual or programmed setting of flag. Stop: Halts program for data entry or display. Pause: Brief display of interim results in computa- tion. 2 Step Program: Operator may step through program for visual verification of instructions. A ‘dual display’ feature on the 9100B greatly simplifies program editing and modification. It allows the program step and the succeeding one to be dis- played simultaneously. MEMORY Magnetic core memory includes: 3 display registers (keyboard, temporary) accumulator, 9100A has 16 storage registers with capacity for 196 program steps plus 2 constants. Total of 2208 bits of core memory. 9100B has 32 storage registers with capacity for 392 program steps plus 4 constants. Total of 3840 bits of core memory. Capacity: Register accommodates floating point num- ber with 12 significant digits (including 2 undis- played guard digits) and 2 digit exponent. Al- ternately, register accommodates 14 program steps. Read-Only-Memory: Contains over 32,000 bits of fixed information for keyboard routines. GENERAL Temperature: Operating range, 0-45°C.
