Interesting European market HP-32E - Michael de Estrada - 06-12-2011
I found this interesting German market HP-32E with periods for 1000s delimiters and a comma for the decimal point. The seller is in Belgium and it was manufactured in Singapore. Note that the serial number has an asterisk (*) preceding it. I have seen this previously with a Brazilian made Spice, and a "normal" calc with commas for 1000s separators and a period for the decimal point can be coverted to reverse them by cutting a jumper on the power circuit board inside the calc.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a feature depending on a jumper setting on one of the calculator boards.

I think that calc is perfectly "normal" from my point of view... ;-)

Massimo
P.S. :-)
SPECIAL-NAMES.
DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA.

I have one of those, sent to me from Brazil (thanks Wanderley! :-) ).

Ci credo anch'io! (I also think so)

Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Etienne Victoria - 06-12-2011
Correct.
Procedure was discussed a couple of years ago on this very forum: here.
And quoting Luiz:
"Jumper closed - dot for radix mark
Jumper opened - comma for radix mark"
Luiz, we miss you.

BTW... a procedure can be found documented:here
...and a picture...
On the pic: "Jumper opened - comma for radix mark"
...the way it should always be :-)))
on the 34s and elsewhere...
Cheers to all!

Massimo, we need to introduce a new operation, maybe in in 34s. ;-)
Ciao !
Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) - 06-12-2011
No ROM space available, hopefully! :-)
Ciao Gerson, Ciao Marcus!!!
Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Gerson W. Barbosa - 06-12-2011
Sorry for the mistake, Massimo!
The other possibility, Massimus, would remain unnoticed, I guess :-)
Cheers,
Gerson.

Bonsoir Etienne,
Quote:Vraimant c|:-) We feature a command called SETEUR (stored in MODE) doing exactly what you have in mind. And if it's only for the radix mark, h-shifted point will do the toggling.

Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Wanderley Navarro - 06-12-2011
You are VERY welcome Bart.
Thanks to your kindness I have again my first scientific calculator and the only non HP in the collection - the Panasonic JE-5001U - that was stolen from me at college in 1976.
Cheers, Wanderley
Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Etienne Victoria - 06-13-2011
Bonsoir Walter,
Of course I use SETEUR every time I reflash and erase my 34s.
My statement was just a small joke to remind a couple of us we had this discussion with Luiz a couple of years ago.
Btw, congratulations and a warm thank you for the great work you did with the 34s.

Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Walter B - 06-13-2011
Merci bien :-)
Re: Interesting European market HP-32E - Bart (UK) - 06-13-2011
And thanks to you, I obtained my first LED HP calculator. (I have since obtained a HP-45, these are now the only 2 LED HP's I currently have).
Cheers, Bart
