HP 42S Error Messages

[Han]

Could anyone help me obtain a list of all the error messages (in order) on the HP42S?

Thank you in advance. -- Han

Hi.

Do you have access to a printed manual? If so, there is a comprehensive list of all messages at the end of it (Appendix D). The downloadable electronic version I know does not have it, though.

Anyway, this is a subject of interest. I guess that generating such a list from digitizing the original manual an using an OCR would take no more than a couple of hours.

Cheers.

Sorry, I could not resist...

HP42S Message List (PDF)

Hope it is of any use. Please, folks, feel free uploading it and sharing freely. After all, it is a PDf reconstruction of an excerpt from the original HP42S manual. And please, if you find any error of any kind let me know so I can fix it.

Cheers.
