Hi all
I’m not sure this is right forum for this question, But here goes. I’m having a problem programming my 42s with an equation. It keeps looping round and round. If I do the calculation manually it works perfectly. Can anyone help?
This is what i have tried
00 lbl CV
01 mvar R “R” = radius of curvature
02 mvar B “B” = Radius of the contact ball
03 mvar Y “Y” = Radius of the Spherometer
04 rcl R
05 enter
06 rcl B
07 +
08 ^2
09 rcl Y
10 ^2
11 -
12 sqrt
13 sto A
14 rcl R
15 enter
16 rcl B
17 +
18 rcl A
19 -
20 end
In case anyone is wondering. A Spherometer is a measuring devise for the fabrication of laser optics. It has three precision bearing (“B”) at a fixed diameter (two times the “Y” dimension)"R" is the radius of curvature
If the equation works correctly you would input 416.95” for the radius
Input .25” for the “B”
Input 5.5 for “Y” and the answer should be .036260
Thanks for any suggestions
