RPN-35 SD is a photo-realistic simulation of Hewlett-Packard's break-through scientific hand-held calculator.
On January 4, 1972, Hewlett-Packard announced the HP-35, world's first scientific calculator small enough to fit in a pocket - more precisely, Bill Hewlett's shirt-pocket. The HP-35 was an immediate hit with students, engineers, and scientists. Despite its steep price of $395 (more than $2,200 today), it sold ten times better than anticipated in the first year. It was discontinued in 1975.
Features
- Photo-realistic look-and-feel
- Three skins: version 1, versions 2 & 3 (1973) and final version 4 (1974)
- Two Calculator Modes: Vintage and Enhanced
- Key haptics and key glow, both optional
- Swipe left across display to correct wrong number input
- Cut/copy/paste display value
- Display stack registers and all memory registers (tap display once)
- All decimal points but one light up when battery charge drops below 5%
Settings
Tap the wrench symbol to access the settings screen:
- HP-35 Version: select production version 1 ("Red Dot"), versions 2 or 3 (identical apart from the front panel label), or version 4 (with labeled function keys)
- Calculator Mode: see below
- Registers: see below
- Haptics: select the desired level of haptic feedback when hitting a key. 0 = off.
- Key Glow Effect: tapping a key will shortly show a white glow around it
- Hide Extra Buttons: If the Settings and Information buttons are distracting, you may hide them (on devices not displaying the HP front label).
They still work if you tap at the correct position. Alternatively, double-tap the display to open the Settings screen.
- Sound Volume: select desired key click volume.
Calculator Mode Vintage
In this mode, RPN-35 SD simulates a real HP-35 very closely:
- Original speed of operation
- Stack register Z gets copied to T on trig functions
- Leading zeros may be entered
- The sign of zero may be negative
- A negative number may be entered by pressing CHS before or after the number
- A keyboard entry or RCL immediately following STO does not raise the stack
- If HP-35 version 1 is selected, known arithmetic errors are simulated
In Vintage Mode, the settings button (wrench) is colored blue.
Calculator Mode Enhanced
In this mode, RPN-35 SD works as an enhanced HP-35 that never existed.
- High-speed operation
- Non-volatile stack and registers
- Higher precision of constants π and e
- Addressable registers R1...R9 supporting STO and RCL arithmetic like the HP-45
- Last X operation, performed by entering RCL 0
- Storing 1939010x in R0 sets the haptics level to x (0 = off)
